A Revamped Chair and a Rescued Paint Job!

Revamping an Old Vintage Chair with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint

As promised from yesterday’s post, here’s more detailed information on how I did this Union Jack design on an old coffee table. I did make some mistakes and I will point them out to you, so you will sail through this easily!

Miss Mustand Seed's Typewriter Milk Paint on an old book with a Royal Design Studio stencil
