My Take on Pinterest Project- Chalk Painted Chairs

My life is driven by self-challenges and adventures. It's one of the perks of being in the silver years of life. I'm currently creating "my version" of DIY projects pinned to my Pinterest board. My latest challenge/adventure took me to a flea market where I found two wooden chairs at $8.95 each. It seemed the right price to experiment with chalk paint. If you would like the homemade recipe follow the link to liz marie blog. She's done a wonderful job explaining how to make the stuff.  Since the chairs were wobbly, I took them apart and put them back together with a strong wood glue.

Marking each piece made putting it back together a snap! I  made simple cushions and accent pillows to give it a cottage style. Total cost for this project was $40.00. I think that's a bargain for two chairs.
