\"Sitting
\nStyles inevitably change, and what may have once been a very fashionable piece of furniture is now hopelessly outdated.  Worry not! A can of paint, a trendy color, and a little elbow grease can easily take a piece from the antiquated into the au courant. Such was the case with this chair. We loved the design, but it had definitely seen better days and did not match anything else we had.  The decision was made to give this chair a new look and new- life in gray.
\nMaterials:<\/strong>
\n2 Paint colors- we used Platinum PPU26-11 for the main color and Overcast PPU26-21 as our accent
\nPaint tray
\nPaint rollers and roller covers, or paintbrush
\nOld Chair
\nTools:<\/strong>
\nPainter\u2019s Tape
\nRuler
\nPen or pencil
\nStep 1: Measure and mark the chair<\/strong>
\nMeasure 5\u201d from the bottom of the chair leg and mark it with a pen.
\n\"Measure
\nStep 2: Tape the chair<\/strong>
\nWith painter\u2019s tape, tape off the bottom of the chair leg at the 5\u201d pencil mark. Tape off any other areas of the chair you want to paint in the accent color.

\nStep 3: Paint accent color<\/strong>
\nPaint the taped off areas in your accent color using a small roller or brush.  Allow it to dry.  If needed apply a second coat and allow to dry as well.

\nStep 4: Remove and reapply tape<\/strong>
\nOnce the paint is completely dry, remove the tape. Then, place tape over the part you just painted to protect it from your main color.
\n\"Adding \"Retape-chair-blog-crop\"
\nStep 5: Paint<\/strong>

\nStep 6: Remove tape and paint seat<\/strong>
\nRemove all tape. Then, paint the seat of the chair with your accent color using a small roller and detail brush. Allow it to dry.  If needed apply second coat and allow to dry as well.
