Leather Transformation
I have wanted a reclining armchair for a while to replace a very nice Edwardian armchair in my study. Nice as it was, the armchair was deep and you felt like you had a wall either side of you. I saw a dark green swivel recliner on Facebook sales (where else!) for £20. Right price, but wrong colour. My study is white and blue. With chalk paint, that is no problem. Here is the process and the result. It is painted in Sarah Jane Vintage, which has a light cream tint, and then has two coats of Annie Sloan Clear Wax.
It looks so comfortable. Just a horrible colour!
Here it is in an upright more sensible position
You can see that the first coat is not promising.
However, here you can see how well the paint has covered in two thinned coats and two coats of clear wax.
Very comfortable and it looks perfect in my study.
