Occasional chair, Annie Sloan & Vanessa Arbuthnott


Jo & I recently finished a couple of beautiful occasional chairs - or dining chairs if you wish!  I prefer to call them occasional chairs as many people now use them as one-off pieces in bedrooms, living rooms, hallways even offices so to pigeon-hole them solely as dining chairs seems a little unfair!

 I've recently visited a huge fabric warehouse in Leicestershire & had chosen some beautiful fabrics, specifically for reupholstering these types of chairs so was itching to get started.




I'd forgotten to photograph them before we started painting - as usual! - so I grabbed my camera mid-way through before they were completely first coated.

We chose Annie Sloan Chalk Paint® in French Linen, a stunning neutral greige colour as we knew it'd work perfectly with the new Vanessa Arbuthnott fabric I'd bought.  We love the final piece & think the colour combination works fabulously! 






The height of this chair is 93cm, the width is 46cm at the widest point & is, as always, waxed using Annie Sloan Clear Wax for a durable finish.
£45
