Scott's Antiques Market Chair and Ottoman - ASCP Project!

I have now been using world-famous Annie Sloan Chalk Paints (ASCP) - link to website - for over a year and am the proud owner of the following colors and have used all but the sample size:

Old White

Old Ochre

Cream (new)

CoCo

Graphite

Duck Egg Blue

Chateau Grey

Paris Grey

Napoleon Blue (sample size)

My most recent project was a country French style chair and ottoman which I purchased in October at the Scott's Antique Market in Atlanta (every second weekend of the month).   As with every project, I learn something new and am delighted with the outcome!

This is the set as purchased from Scott's - a nice size and shape but with a finish that is a little odd!

My friend, Ouida, was trying out ASCP for the first time with a sweet table that she had purchased on one of our estate sale outings.  I did a first coat of Old Ochre.  

I achieved the distressed look by using a first coat of clear wax and then going over it with dark wax.  I find that using an old stiff-bristled toothbrush works particularly well to get into the crevices.  Next stop - Upholstery Shop!

I selected a heavy linen striped fabric which coordinated beautifully with the finish color. 

Nice neutral look!

TA DA -  Finished and enough fabric left over to do a small bolster pillow!  This set is available on Etsy and eBay and will soon be listed on my website - link to website.

On to the next project!!  This project was linked to this Annie Sloan Chalk Paint link party - Shades of Amber
