Another mint garden chair!

Happy Father's Day! 

On this special day I am working on projects in the beautiful sun and reminiscing on how my dad would help me out or give me advice on how I should proceed with a project. 

Last year I painted a chair mint and loved it. I have a chair that is too rough to use. The seat is split. However it is perfect for a garden. I can see a beautiful flower pot on it. I gave it a coat if ASCP mint paint that I mixed myself. I don't have perfect recipe. I just eye ball it. I use Florence, Antibes green and old white. I didn't wax it as it hopefully will be a wonderful accent to someone's garden! Pieces of furniture don't need to be waxed if they are outside with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint.

 Here is the chair!

Mint distressed chair

Hello Friends!
I don't know about you but I have been having a craving for mint! I've fallen in love with this colour lately and couldn't wait to mix some up to paint. I recently went to pick up some Antibes Green Annie Sloan Chalk Paint so I could get just the right colour. I mixed together old white, Antibes Green and a dash of Florence. I can't give you an exact measurement as I just eyeballed it. I would say 5/8 old white, 2/8 Antibes green and 1/8 Florence. But like I said I really just eye balled it.

I did some distressing on the piece with sand paper. It had a cream colour painted underneath which looks great with the mint.

Then of course I waxed the piece with Annie Sloan's clear wax.

Hope you like it! I know I love it!!
