The Piglet Chair - Before and After

antique vintage mint pink chair before and after

I know what you're thinking. It looked pretty good before!! Well, up close, it didn't. It was one of these worst paint jobs I'd ever seen. It was done in a flat mint, and dirt and dust were just caked all over it, with no way to wipe it off. All the grooves had drips and clumps. Please don't let the pictures and your love for mint deceive you. Trust me on this one.

I gave it a quick run down with a satin pink paint called piglet. Kit liked it like this, but honestly there were just too many imperfections in the wood for it to pull off perfection.

So out came the typewriter (that's the name of the black Miss Mustard Seed paint I use). And I sacrificed my hands by applying it with a rag.
