The Painted Pumpkin Chair

As I have shared before, I am a vendor at

 Earth Mama's General Store

in downtown Fayetteville, GA.

Earth Mama's is located in a beautiful, old

house that was built in 1916.

When you walk through the door, you enter a room that we keep decorated for the different seasons.

So, during the summer, this chair that my daughter, my friend, Cindy, and I recovered, was perfect for the front room...

 But, now it's time to decorate for Fall!

My friend, Cindy, who also happens to be

 the owner of Earth Mama's, had this chair

that she wanted to recover and put in the front room...

I asked her if it would be okay for me to paint the chair for Fall rather than recover it. We can always recover it after pumpkin season. She agreed, so I started by painting over the blue fabric with a black acrylic paint. I dipped my brush in water, then in the paint to make it go on easier and not be so stiff.

I let the paint dry overnight, then drew out my design on the chair with chalk...

Then, using more acrylic paint, 
I painted white pumpkins on the chair...

The painted pumpkin chair is the perfect addition to the Fall themed room at Earth Mama's General Store...

For Christmas, maybe I can turn those pumpkins into ornaments!

In case you missed it,
here is a chair that my daughter, Carrie, painted...

You can learn more about it here.

Would you be bold enough to paint a chair?
 Give it a try! It's fun!!!
