Shabby chic chair makeover

I had mentioned in my guest room makeover post that I had redone this chair going on the third time..

As you can see this was very shabby chic style, which I loved. But with moving and styles changing it just was not working anymore.
This was our previous guest room and I had done the chair according to that style…

However, now the room is once again changed and I am planning on this style for a while now…

I spray painted using one of my favorite colors Bahaus gold by Krylon.  Then I heavily distressed it.
I bought the paisley fabric from hobby lobby, one yard at 3.99, it was on sale.
Thank you for all your lovely birthday wishes.
I had a great day!

    Love this makeover. Question for you – do you prefer glazing or distressing? I tried the glazing and am not sure if I like it or not (when I do it, not when a master does it)…
