Sweet Hand Painted Yellow Chair

This little chair and I have had a love-hate relationship this week. It started out with a different vision in mind, I seen the finished piece in my head, got all my supplies and went to work. Then I ended up starting over.

 You see, I've never mod-podged a piece of furniture before. (and still haven't.) Thought it wouldn't be difficult at all to do~boy was I wrong. I had the cutest little napkins picked out, separated them all and the edges cut off and went to attaching them to the chair. The more I worked...the worse the chair looked. As I was taken a little break and sitting back looking at my monstrosity, my daughter walked up and asked me what I was doing. I told her that I was trying to make up my mind as to if I should just pull off all the napkin pieces and just paint the chair. She looked at the chair and asked "Are you going for the old leather look"?  Yes, that is how bad it looked, all wrinkled up. So I went to pulling all the little pieces of napkins off. Gosh, they sure do stick in the Mod-Podge fairly quickly and dry. I knew I'd better get it all off or I would have to sand the thing and start completely over.

Long story short~I sanded and primed then I ended up painting the chair with Valspar Gold Abundance and then hand painting little flowers, vines & leaves across the top edge. I think it turned out pretty cute in the end. Looks a little old fashioned to me.

Here's what the chair started as

Maybe I'll try to tackle another Mod-Podge project again but it will be something super simple for me without any curves. My hat is off to all the Mod-Podge Queens out there.
