Walk Right In, Sit Right Down

I have been thinking about painting a chair.

Found the right kind of chair at Goodwill.

Painted it darker at the bottom and faded lighter towards the top.

Worked on the reverse
 from the top.  
Darker red to lighter orange...

Had to take it outside to 
get better light.

Painting the cushion black.

This was the scary part.
I really like the background and this could really mess it up if I don't like what happens next...

This is the part where I have to really imagine what it may look like when I get the stripes put on!

Whew!    
I am gonna like this!

Now the black cushion is drying and I have to decide what to do with that....

Eww. 
 THAT looks awful!  
More paint!  
STAT!

Ummm....
Very interesting.
But, I don't like that either.
More Paint!
STAT!

Ahhh....
That's better.
A little more touch up tomorrow and it will be done.
Going to seal it up with a clear poly-acrylic and then it will be available to go to a new home.

Five coats of sealant on everything and this chair is done and available for sale! 

I painted the cushion on one side with some circles and dots.  
The other side is plain.
Something for everyone...
