I emailed my good friend Marnie, who is a local photographer and asked if she needed any chairs for props, etc. She had just been thinking about doing something like this...so a deal was made. A good deal for both of us...I get more garage space and she get's cheap (read: free) photo props to play around with. Oh, and I got to spray paint. Peeps...I have been waiting for this day a loooong time. Minnesota has been brutal...and it just got above 40*. Marnie wanted one chair in purple and one in distressed white. Easy-peasy!
So yesterday, I finished 2 chairs! I *heart* spray paint for it's ease!
I love them both...they are so different. One, regal and fun. The other, shabby and understated. I hope both will photograph well!

Allison what a fun makeover, the purple is certainly out of the ordinary. They would be so cute with a patterned cushion with cute frilly ties.
How neat that you got to have fun and use a new color! They both look fabulous Allison!!
those are so fun! the white one could be used just about anywhere, and the purple i can see at a mirrored desk with modern accents in the room- that would be awesome!
Those are super cute chairs! And yes, I have heard those same words spoken about my garage!
Very well done...I like them both♥
Can't wait to see what you do with that coffee table in your garage. My mom still has one exactly like it as well as the "matching" end tables.
i love them both, but man that purple is hot! thanks for partying at Type A!
those have got to be the cutest chairs ive ever seen!
Great deal and great chairs! And the colors are great. Nice job!
Sorry I used the word great so much...I should really go to bed :)
I love the chairs. Great colors and it is amazing how different they look just because of the color!

those are cute!
Love them both :-) They are so cute. Hope to see you at My Dream Canvas! Have a great day.
Oh so different and both so adorable! This is the perfect picture to show what can be done with paint!
I love the lines on these chairs and they turned out so cute. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I will enjoy following a fellow Minnesotan! :)

They look fantastic! And it really is amazing what a coat of paint can do...two identical chairs that now look nothing alike...fantastic!!! I'd love to see some of the photos she takes with those as props!
Love the purple. So different. Lucky friend! :)

Such fun colors, really like the purple!
Love the lines of the chairs. They turned out great. I have two shabby chairs purchased in San Francisco for DD1. She decided not to keep so they came back to Alabama with me. One day, I spied them in a magazine (paint) ad. They are in my house tour, Part 2, if you're interested (in the Shabby Chic bedroom). The man we bought them from had told us inventory changed often and that things were rented for photo shoots. Dropping by from BNOTP.

WOW...I like the purple one...which is a surprise to me!!! Fun to have some more space in the garage!
Is there a full moon tonight? Normally I'm a white shabby girl, but I'm loving that purple one. I can totally see that one being great for kids or teenager pictures.
