Cat,

Thanks for your kind comment. No, I didn’t take shop. My mom used tools a lot while I was growing up, but most of the larger power tools I use I learned as I went. I did some googling, and I watched some YouTube videos. But mostly I just jump in and fly by the seat of my pants. I probably did not sand the chair because I used two light coats of the chalky paint primer. It’s very flat and will stick to most surfaces if it is sealed somehow. Sometimes I seal with a semi-gloss latex paint, wax, or glaze. The very flat paint needs something to protect it from getting scratched off.
I hope you find lots of projects to inspire you!

I am new to your website, but love it. Did you take shop? LOL. I would love to be able to use tools the way you do. My question is this…did you sand you chair before painting it. I am referring to your towel chair.

Thanks,’
Cat

Thanks so much for stopping by and taking the time to leave a comment Angel. Keep your eyes out for a cheap thrift store chair, or even one on the side of the road.
