Pottery Barn Inspired Desk Chair

Thanks for sharing!

 

It's that time again…Themed Furniture Makeover Day.

This month's theme is Pottery Barn Inspired. 

This theme was tricky. I looked at my stash and around the house. Then it dawned on me that my used craft room chair that I bought maybe 25 years ago had still NEVER received a makeover. It was similar in style to the Pottery Barn Teen Desk Chair.

I almost freaked out because I didn't take a before photo. I went through and found this photo that I never used from 2013 because it was so bad, but you get the idea. It came with a sewing table. I think I got both pieces under $30. I was still in college so I know I wouldn't have paid much for it. I got rid of sewing table when we built this house with a built-in desk.

I love the new cottage look. I painted it with 3 coats of a custom mix of Old White and Pure White.

I didn't do any distressing. Wanted to keep it fresh and clean-looking.

The base is very similar to the Pottery Barn Teen one.

I applied 1 coat of clear wax. I let it cure for 24 hours. Then I buffed it to a light sheen with my buffing brush.

  1. I love the new look of the chair, Christy. And I’m kinda partial to the pillow too since I have one in the same fabric. Great minds….. Thanks for the inspiration. (and your blog looks great too). ~ Angie
