With all the rain we’ve been having I decided to use this weekend to tackle some DIY projects I’ve had on the back burner. First up is my version of the Jonathan Adler Chinese Chippendale chair shown below. I love the look of this chair but don’t love the $500 price tag. To recreate this I started combing Craigslist for a similar chair. This week I lucked out and nabbed one for $15! Next was a trip to Home Depot for some high gloss lime green spray paint. I was so excited to start painting I forgot to take a before picture, but trust me you’re not missing much. The chair was natural wood and had some glue residue on it that I was able to loosen w/ nailpolish remover and scrape off with a knife.
Here’s the final product:
Jonathan Adler’s Version…
My version!
For some reason the color is showing up much lighter than it is in person, but you get the idea. I still need to do a second coat of paint on this but that will have to wait till tomorrow.
