Blog Inspired Ice Cream Chair

November 09, 2014
I have had this vintage ice cream chair for at least fifteen years.  I painted the iron with Rustoleum Heirloom White a long time ago.  The chair had been in my den until recently when I tried to sell it at an occasional crafts/collectibles shop on consignment.  Luckily. it didn't sell, and I brought it back home.


When I saw these ice cream chairs on Pinterest  upcycled by Terry of Forever Decorating, I was inspired to transform my ice cream chair.  Don't you love Terry's chairs?

First, I painted my chair with a brush and Annie Sloane Chalk paint in French Linen on the legs, and Old White on the seat and back.

 Then I used blue painter's tape to make a stripe for stenciling and taped on a number "5" stencil.

I used a round sponge stencil brush to add the French Linen stripe and number.  I added a second thinner stripe when the thicker one was dry, and I filled in the part of the number that was blocked by the stencil.

The chair will be situated under my bathroom vanity.  More of the bathroom changes to come!
