Vintage Pressed Back Rocking Chair

This is a vintage pressed back rocking chair from the early 1900's. The finish was in poor condition making it a good candidate for a fresh painted finish.

I painted the rocking chair in Cream Chalk Paint and applied a light coat of dark wax.  The dark wax isn't overpowering and the piece still has a light and airy feel.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Supply List

Below are the supplies I used for this project (affiliate links):

• Annie Sloan Chalk Paint products (Cream with clear & dark wax.
• Flexible sanding pad and 220-grit sand paper
• wax brush (alternatively use a lint free cloth to apply the wax, but I've found on most projects the brush gives me more control and speeds up the process.)
• Shop towels (for removing excess wax)
• Lint free shop rags (for buffing)
