Painting fabric with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint...............

Suzan says - I've been thinking of painting the arm chair in the living room
John says - You mean the legs?  That's the only wood on it
Suzan says - No, the entire chair actually
John says - OVER MY DEAD BODY...............YOU ARE NOT TOUCHING THE LIVING ROOM FURNITURE - THIS IS TOO MUCH - DO YOU HEAR ME - THIS IS JUST TOO DAMN MUCH NOW...........

We're on our way to Caroline's today................and I've been dying to see this beauty in person.
I helped paint it one day while visiting - but haven't seen it completely done in person yet


An antique sofa that's been entirely painted - fabric and all.................

Come on over - I'll meet you there!!!

I have to get in the car - but you can just click the link below

  11. I feel their painting pain...I did two chairs but still have to wax them. I didn't water the paint down because I used Old White or a darkish pattern. Still trying to decide on what color I want to paint the wood! I'm stuck.
    The couch is to die for and so is the shop!

  14. Crazy - I was just talking with a fellow painter about painting fabric - she has a funky mid-century chair and we thought it would look awesome in Barcelona. I've sent her over to check out this sofa project - it looks awesome!!

  16. You painted the fabric on a couch??? I have never heard of such a thing. What kind of paint would you use? Certainly 'couch paint' does not exist :)

    Does your husband like it? Did it turn out the way you expected?

  18. Wowsers! The couch looks amazing. Does it feel stiff? I have an old pink velvet wingback chair up in my garage that may be in need of some chalk paint. Thanks for sharing this Suzan. Blessings, Patti

    P.S. I didn't see you there. We must have just missed each other :(
