We are Dallas Cowboy Fans in this house (although I secretly love the Eagles too). So while I was working on a few projects for a contest, I was inspired to create on for our football room A.K.A. Cowboy Cave!
This chair was just a plain old spindle back chair that would go with your everyday farm table. Nothing to write home about, but it had good bones. I was entering an Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Chair Makeover Contest ....now my original idea was 2-tone and stenciling.
But with all the news of the Cowboys and training camp, I decided Paris Grey was it! When he was all painted up.......it definitely said Cowboys to me! I painted on the navy star and added some lines (these were suggestions from my kids, because the uniforms have lines too) I have some future Design Star's on my hands here. lol
This is where it has found it's home by the entry way under my husband football wall of fame. I wanted to display his football career too so he has a wall in his football room too! I think it fits nicely and might paint the partner to this chair the same and bring it down to the cave.......we need a lot of seating this season!
Hope you all enjoyed the photos and this very simple makeover (I say simple because as everyone knows) I didnt have to do a thing to that old ugly chair but brush on some AS Chalk Paint and I already had an awesome chair to work with.
Let's go Cowboys!

ReplyDeleteOh honey...Great minds DO think alike!!! I "rescued" 2 IKEA chairs from certain death on a curb last spring.
ReplyDeleteMy son and I are deciding which COLTS color combo we will be painting them! Definitely the big horseshoe on the seat,thinking about stenciling a player's name on the back, kinda like a director's chair...I will do before and afters! LOVE & SMILES!
