Antibes Green and Louis Blue Gave My Thrifted Chair a Two-Tone Finish

I repainted a thrift-store chair with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Antibes Green and Louis Blue, then added a copper-colored stencil to the seat. The chair had spent the winter outside and needed freshening up.

Changing the earlier stenciled chair

I had recently tried an initial on the chair back, inspired by a magazine photo. I was no longer happy with that look, so the makeover gave me a reason to try two paint colors I had wanted to use.

Break up the green with blue

After painting the chair green, I felt there was too much of one color. I added Louis Blue in scattered areas, then waxed the finish.

A copper-colored stencil on the seat

I used copper-colored craft paint for the seat stencil and lightly distressed the chair. The photos show the different colors and worn areas together.

The chair in the room

The green and blue worked with the other greens, blues, and yellows around the room. While working on the kitchen floor, I also painted a mat with Chalk Paint, let it dry, and tried writing on it with chalk.
