The kids and I got up, I made a yummy breakfast of huevos rancheros, then we headed out to do some errands. Along the way, I stumbled upon a yard sale, scooped up a chair for $2 and brought it home.
While the kids played in the yard with a new friend, I spray painted it, then drank some coffee waiting for it to dry so I could scuff it up. The laziest project ever.
The living room is constantly changing and the tiny room is always in need of additonal seating. This is a nice addition that looks like it’s been loved forever. I know it will be starting today.

Love it! I’m inspired — I have a chair that could use some paint-and-scuffing….

I have a table and five chairs like it in my school room. Can you share with us the steps you took to redo it? Thanks! Looks great.

yeah, how to do you scuff?

I scuffed it by using sandpaper. I Seriously spent about 20 minutes spray painting it, then after it was dry, 2 minutes sanding edges where it would naturally wear and then decided I was done. SO easy!

I’m slowly becoming addicted to your site. I don’t have my own place yet, but when I do, I can’t wait to gather a bunch of old French ‘junk’ and make it over for my home. Very inspiring.

dude. I have 5 of these chairs languishing, unused, waiting for their table to surround, most of which are covered in crayon and marker. I love the idea of painting them and using them for extra seating! Why didn’t I think of that??
