Before and After - Tall Chippy Blue Chair

What's your stance on purposely chipped paint? 

If you love the look, then this a piece for you.

Take a look up close at what the Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint in Ironstone did on top of the sanded rattan:

Here's what was going on before. Seat cushion wasn't even attached when I bought it for an overpriced $15 from Salvation Army (seriously, their prices are ridiculous). And even though we're in Hawaii, no one needs another aloha print rattan chair to buy off Craigslist, seriously. 

I love this wood grain fabric, (I used it on this dresser, click here), and knew I wanted to use it as the seat cover. 

I have the matching red/black version of that fabric, which I used on the bottom just for fun. It's never going to get seen.

I'm actually not a fan of the chippy look, but I've always knows it was a risk when using Milk Paint. This is first time in 2 years it actually happened! 

I sealed it with Miss Mustard Seed hemp oil and furniture wax. 

This chair is for sale on Craigslist and Etsy for $65. 

Seat is 17" wide and 15" deep. 
Seat to top of back rest is 12". 
Floor to seat is 24". 
36" tall total. 

I think it's about bar stool height. It's tall. 

So ditch the excessive Hawaiiana print, and add this tall chippy blue chair to your home. :)
