Duck Egg Blue Rocking Chair

Dear friends!

 I am so excited to share with you this sweet chair 
I painted for my friend Sue!
Sue saw the potential on this baby when she saw it at the Olde Farmhouse Vintage Fair end of June!
Sue loves color, so she wanted it painted blue. First I gave it two coats of shellac, to avoid the problem I had with my mom's bed... Then I painted it with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Old White.
I gave it a nice coat of ASCP Duck Egg Blue. I distressed a bit, to show the white underneath.
This time instead of Annie Sloan clear wax, I tried 
Cece Caldwell Satin Finish. It is a hard finish that you apply with a foam brush. The look and feel is pretty much the same as the wax, but I did not have to buff afterwards! I gave it two coats. Now it needs to cure for a week. 
Here is a close up:
And here without the throw:
I wish I was back into sewing, to sew a beautiful pillow for it!

 My next post will be my peachy dessert, step-by-step with instructions!!!
Hugs,
Claudine

      Dear Carolyn!
      I am happy to be back home and doing my "normal" stuff, like reading my friends blogs, trying recipes and painting furniture!
      Thank you so much for coming over too! Yes, that would match with your "beachy" style!
      I am so glad I WROTE that, because with my accent, that would have sounded weird, LOL!!!
      Have a great week!

      Thank you so much, Victoria!
      My friend Sue gave it to her daughter, and she is using it in her baby's room!
      This chair is small, perfect for the room! I also love the shape, they have a name for it... bended cane or something like that?? It needed some love...
      Thank you so much for coming over and commenting!

    Form works in cycles so they say, and generally this is valid. To be sure the UK is as of now encountering a resurgence in the loathsome design of the 80's, we'd all made a decent attempt to overlook. What's more, it won't be long until the Global Hyper Color shirts and sick fitting wool coats of the nineties come around once more.Best egg chairs
