My Craft Room Chair

I saw a chair on Pinterest and have wanted to do something like it for almost a year now.  Here is the link to the chair that inspired my chair  http://roadkillrescue.net/2012/05/doily-design-chair/

Before


I couldn't find any lace that I liked enough (I can be very picky), so I used my Cricut to cut swirls (Accent Essentials cartridge), flowers (George Basic Shapes cartridge), and dots.  I taped the shapes down so they wouldn't move while I spray painted.


This is right after I spray painted.  I use Rustoleum or Valspar (Lowe's spray paint)


I wanted a little pink on the chair to match my craft room.  I dry brushed pink acrylic paint around the design.


I distressed the edges of the chair.  And sealed it with a gloss spray paint.  I only use Valspar clear spray paint for the sealer and I do 2 coats on the entire chair and 3 on the seat.



I only had permanent tape when I taped the shapes down so it was difficult getting all the tape residue off the chair, I would suggest using a repositioning tape instead.  Other then that the chair was done pretty quickly and it looks great in my craft room.
