DIY color block chair

i found this sweet little chair at a thrift store the other week. the size was perfect and nia got cozy in it right away (when we were still in the store!) best part about it, it was only $7!

so i took it home and with a little elbow grease, help from martha and sandpaper + foam brushes it came out lookin' pretty sweet!

i first washed the chair, as it was looking pretty grubby. once it was dry i sand papered off the train stencil and gave the rest of the chair a quick sanding so the paint would stick better. 

do you not just love these colors? i had such a hard time choosing even what color scheme to go with. 

i went with granny smith, pool and scallion paint colors and LOVED how they looked together.  it took about 3 coats, but the paint dried pretty fast and the whole project took me about 3 hours (including color debating time)

and nia loves it!
