new {old} bistro chair

it's new with an {old} look You may have seen part of it peeking out from under my new farmhouse table.

This chair was purchased new from Kmart for about $30.
It was originally bright turquoise which I dulled down with first primer and then flat olive green spray paint. Then I sanded a ton to make it look {old}.
I got the idea from The French Country Cottage and was so excited to finally find an affordable bistro chair.


I'm lovin' this new {old} chair.

  4. I just today came to your blog via Funky Junk Interiors and am now one of your newest followers. I, too, bought the turquoise bistro chair (3 of them) from KMart. I had planned to paint them white but after seeing yours I'm not so sure - they came out great!
