Week THREE.
Wow, the challenge is at half way and I have a lot to finish. If you are new here, I fill you in quickly of what is going on. I took the challenge to makeover our BLAH breakfast room in 6 weeks.
Yep.
I like crazy challenges and this room definitely needed some styling. Check out my inspiration board HERE, and my fantastic GREEN CHANDELIER MAKEOVER that I shared at week 2’s post.
So today there is another colorful makeover to show you. By the way, have you seen my SPRING REFRESH home tour?? Spring totally sets my mind to colors. I mean I love colors anyhow, but when the sun is shining it’s kinda making my design style to go cheery and fun.
I had these chairs in the breakfast room since my first son was born… and that means almost 6 years now.
Wow, I only realize how fast time flies when I say it out loud. These chairs had all the wear, stickers, food and yucky stuff all over them. It was really time to either change them ( not my style:-) or fix them.
I normally choose FIX things up.
This is the before pic of it:
Yeah, you agree that it needed help, right?
I took the chairs apart and started sanding them with my machine.
Then I went on with my favorite Rust-Oleum spray paint. This shade of yellow was exactly what I was looking for. Not too bright and not too yellow-yellow.
I am still debating if I should give a finishing coat of some sort so the paint won’t chip off easily. Will update you if I figure what exactly I need from Home Depot:-) (Leave a comment if you have a clue)
Love how this chair turned out. I really do. Such fun color while it was such easy-peasy makeover.
Looks like a new, stylish modern chair from the store.
And now I am going to have to make a confession here at the end of the post!
I am a cheater…the project is actually not completely done. Yep, the other 3 chairs has not gotten done just yet…. all of them are sanded already, waiting for the sunny day to come to finish the painting part:-)
I hope I inspired you to get your hands on some spray paint. Be sure to check back next week to see the next project in the room.

Um … that chair is AMAZING!! Way to go on the challenge!!
Thanks,Katie!XO
WOW! It’s STUNNING Aniko! I’m already dying to see what you’re working on for next week!
Thanks Kristi!I am only hoping that I can finish that next project over the weekend as I will be at SNAP next week…Xo
It looks amazing, Aniko!! I love the colour and it looks brand new!! Good job on the sanding… I am often too lazy and try to skip that step which is a bad idea:)
Sanding is a must- at least for me.:-) Thanks for checking in today.Xo
Love the yellow and LOVE what I see with it and the styled photo. That navy wall is just gorgeous!
Well, the hallway got a little mini makeover and I thought that yellow would look awesome against that blue wall:-) Glad you like it!
The chair looks great! I love the yellow color you picked! I can’t wait to see them all together in the breakfast room!
Thanks Sam! I can’t wait to see the end myself:) Have a great night!
Great job with the chair!
Thank you for visiting today, Anna!
Chair love. They say if you are in a yellow room you can’t have an argument so I’d take it a little further and say if you sat in that happy yellow chair you couldn’t have a bad day! If the chair will be used regularly I’d recommend you topcoat with a non-yellowing satin poly. Even though the chair is yellow I’d want a non-yellowing formula so it didn’t effect the color over time.
Yellow makes me happy, period! I will definitely try that satin poly. Thank you for the recommendation.Have a wonderful week-END!
This little yellow chair is so cute! It’s warm and inviting. Can’t wait for your ORC to be complete. xo
I think so too, Katie! Thank you for stopping by today!XXOO See ya soon!
The chair looks amazing, fantastic job! I love the pop of yellow and can’t wait to see the rest of the space 🙂
I’ve used the rust-oleum painters touch clear gloss – i think it also comes in semi-gloss too. It’s non-yellowing and as per the label ‘seals, protects, & revitalizes’.
Perfect Kourtney! Will fix it this weekend! Xo
I love the makeover, Aniko! Rustoleum has awesome colors and this one is just perfect! Lookin good girl! Btw, I am sooo jealous I won’t meet you at SNAP this year! Have a wonderful weekend! xo
Glad you like it Kendra. Finally I can see the end of the makeover after finishing another project this weekend.I am excited about SNAP, bummed to miss you!Have a great week!
That yellow chair is perfect. Love it!
Now that I have the table next to it, I think so, too Erin! Be sure to check back on Thursday to see the next project! Xo
Aniko, seriously you have the talent to make anything look beautiful! That chair and styling is so beautiful! I love all your makeover and the teepee is too cute! My youngest daughter Charlotte got one for her Turning 2 Tutu and Bow Tie Tea Party, which is now in her room. Wish I could say I made it. 🙂 Thank you for always inspiring me with fun and creative design!
Love how this turned out! Such a fun pop!
Love those chairs! I need some like that (seem smaller than a lot of others) What is that style called and have you had them for a long time? Perhaps Etsy would have them???
This is so simple and cool!
