    Here's the purple chair before - really nothing wrong with it -- and after. The flower 'pot' is one of the little chick feeders. The plant stand was 3 pieces. I was going to use them all for something else, but when I started taking it apart to get all the screws out, it just seemed like I should put it back together again. It didn't want to be painted, either, even though I thought it should be black. Some things just speak to you.

    The chair is adorable. The flowers in the chicken feeder compliment the paint so nicely. The plant stand is cool just how it is too.

    Yup, I hand painted the chair with a brush and lots of blue painter's tape. Glad you like it. It's pretty funky!

    For the plant stand I just sanded the old varnish off all the pieces before reconstructing, then went over the whole thing with gel stain. I have a really nice HVLP paint sprayer but haven't used it enough to be good with it and am not very good with cans of spray paint, either. I guess I need more practice.

    Me either, good with spray paint. But I got a good spray handle for on the can and it makes a BIG difference... Do you use the sponge brushes or reg. brushes??

    This time I used a sponge brush, but sometimes I use a regular bristle brush. Kind of depends on what I find on my shelf.
