Over the weekend, we purchased these chairs. They're plain and unfinished, which made it so easy to paint over. IKEA offers several pieces within their stores for easy DIY projects.
I stained it with Minwax. I then dry brushed it with Shabby Chic paint. Dry brushing is an awesome technique for giving that vintage, distressed look.
Tips and Tricks:
Using a paper plate, pour a little paint. Don't soak your brush, you want very little paint, to almost none on the brush. You can also fan out the brush to separate the bristles. Brushing lightly over wood, you will want to use booth vertical an horizontal strokes. It will create more depth to your furniture. We only used one coat on our chairs, so u can still see the staining under.
So what do you ladies think? Enjoy you three day weekend.:)
