Farmhouse Cane Back Chairs With Painted Grain Sack Stripes
It's Themed Furniture Makeover day. I always look forward to this day each month but I have to admit, this month's theme was a stretch for me because it is Farmhouse. Don't get me wrong, I love the farmhouse look with all that chippy goodness but my home is a mixed bag of Traditional, French Provincial, and Shabby Chic. I found a couple of chairs in my stash that I painted white and now those Farmhouse cane back chairs with painted grain sack stripes totally fit the bill.
I was so happy to finally do something with these dirty and dingy cane back chairs. I only had two and they didn't come with a table.
Here's a closer look at how dirty the fabric was on the seats.
I painted them with three coats of the color Vanilla Frosting chalk paint by Country Chic Paint. Once dry I hit the edges with a 220 grit sanding block for a lightly distressed look. I thought about going all chippy with it but my traditional side kicked in.
I used a brush to paint the cane, although spraying it would have been easier. I couldn't risk the chance of overspray because I have three projects on the go at the moment, some of which are for clients.
Recently I shared our Master Bedroom Window Seat ReMakeover. When I reupholstered the new seat cushion I kept the fabric from the original Window Seat Design. I'm so glad I did because it was perfect to reuse on these chairs.
I made the cushion cover with a drop cloth and painted grain stripes.
Because of the way I had randomly painted the stripes on the bench cushion, I wasn't able to cut the fabric so the stripes matched perfectly on each chair.
...but I came close.
In May I am selling at my first outdoor market and these will definitely be coming along.
If you like my Farmhouse Cane Back Chair Makeover please share it with a friend and/or save it on Pinterest.
Let's head over and see what the other DIY Furniture Girls created for their Farmhouse piece.
