Do you have an ugly director's chair sitting in the basement or closet? Bringing it out when you need extra seating or just can't throw it out yet or even better thinking I am going to do something with that ugly thing one day. Why not repurpose it to fit your décor? Shabby Chic décor in my case.
Yep, this was mine. My husband had taken it to the garage/shop to sit in. They are comfortable you know.

Tutorial:
1. Sand wood lightly.
2. I wanted the distressed part to be black, so I painted with black paint the parts I would distress. This included the metal part. (See pictures below.)
3. Painted with Anne Sloan white paint and then waxed with Anne Sloan white paste.
4. Distressed with sandpaper the parts I wanted distressed.

The replacement seat and back I purchased at the end of the summer season at World Market for a few dollars. I did need to resize the back and seat to fit the chair, I'm not for sure that they even make this size of director's chair anymore. A true repurpose item.
