DIY painted pastel wooden chair

With all those pretty pictures of pastel interiors, I got a little bit obsessed with the pastel colored chairs. 
They are so cute and fun that I just couldn't stop wanting one on my own.
It's been forever since I've been to the flea market so last weekend I've decided to go and look for a wooden-to-be-painted chair! Even though it took me couple of hours, it was totally worth it as I ended up having one - in front of me - ready to get it's new pastel life! :)

That's the final result! What do you think? I fell a little bit in love with it ♥


I love how the color turned out. To get this result I mixed pastel green and white paint.




That pink pillow belongs on my new pastel chair ;)
I strongly encourage you to paint one, it's fun, easy and the effect is guaranteed!

You will need:

How to do it? 

Clean your chair before applying paint and then paint it twice. 
Wait for it to dry and enjoy!


Ta daaaa!

  3. It is so pretty! I have such a soft spot for pastels... our first little house was pretty much all Martha Stewart style pastels - brings back fond memories:) Thanks for sharing it!
