Project 78 Teal Chair

I bought this chair about 2 years ago.  It was floral with a hunter green background.

I bought it to recover or paint.  I decided paint.  The first picture shows what I painted about a year ago.  It was a much lighter teal and didn't cover well.

The paint mixture I used was 2 parts paint to one part gylcerin mixture. I have lots of paint from the china hutch book case so I used that paint this time.  I mixed 2/3 cups of paint and 1/3 gylcerin.  Although I found several recipes on the internet I found you have to do what is best with the paint you are using. 

I like the way it turned out.  I like that you can still see the floral print.  The hardest part was cleaning the arms and legs.  I wish I had thought more about that when I started.
