I did this project back in the Summer but never had time to write about it.  Now that we are into January and all searching for something to blog about, it seemed like a fitting time.  I used ASCP in “Antibes Green” one of my favorite colors, and did it all with my sprayer.  This girl is not into using a brush unless it is a last resort. 
 
They started out this beautiful black, which I loved, but they had to be dusted everyday and I am not into that.  So the decision was made to go with a lighter color.
 
I already had the green on hand and thought what the heck, be daring and go for it…. I really like the look especially after I distressed them very, very heavily.  I figured the teen age boys would abuse them anyway, so just go with it.
 
I think they really add a fun color to the space.

    I am loving that green. Great job. No sprayer here so I have to brush it when I paint.

    What a pretty difference. I got a palm sander for Christmas but I haven’t even taken it out of the box yet. But I am feeling braver thanks to you.

    I LOVE this distressed look on the chairs. I did this with a couple of pecan nightstands I had. Really makes a statement in the room, like your chairs do. I think the GREEN really pops though. Just beautiful. Perfect for your space.

    Gee, two more things to add to my 2012 project list – ASCP and a sprayer. I know, I’m a little late to the party, huh? The green is perfect cottage look. Just darling!

    What a big difference color makes!
    I need some of your boldness with color.
    I didn’t comment on your counter post, but
    I wanted you to know how talented I see your
    husband is! Simple counter tops might not be too
    hard, but the detail around that sink was amazing!

    I liked the stools black too, but understand the dust issue. The green is a wonderful surprise of color.

    Those Antibes painted chairs are simply gorgeous! KUDOS!! I’m so glad you mentioned that black had to be dusted OFTEN! I was considering painting my dining table chairs ASCP black/charcoal but no more. We live off a gravel country road and without A/C in our home and open windows our house is always dusty! I’ll have to regroup now, but would rather know ahead of time.

      Monica, first I painted them black and then went over that with green. Distressed with a hand held rotating sander and waxed. It was super easy!
