Beach Cottage Blue
As you all know, I love all things beach! Most of all, I love chippy and well-loved furniture in my favorite color (blue)!
Here’s a little chair that I worked on last week:

I’m not sure if you can tell, but it is the prettiest shade of blue – ASCP Louis Blue – it reminds me of a perfect summer’s day sky (with not a cloud in sight).
Here’s what the chair looked like before:

| (Before) |
It is a very heavy maple chair with metal feet. I think it must be from the 30s or 40s. Does anyone know? I love the details of the legs, but I thought the delicate curves kind of disappeared in the wood.

It is the kind of chair that would be great with a heavy wooden desk or in a cottage bedroom with a pile of summer reads on top. I was tempted to keep this one, but my Beach Cottage Blue Chair is looking for a new home. As long as I can get Conor off it!
That is a pretty example of Louis Blue~love how it came out!!
Your little chair is just perfect now! I love the color you used. I just bought some ASCP myself and I think I will have to go back and buy this blue now.

Jeanine, Annie Sloan has so many lovely shades of blue. I love them all. Louis blue is such a happy color. I think my favorite blue is her Duck Egg Blue. Have fun with your new chalk paint. I know you’ll become addicted (like me!).
What a cute chair (and son) !
I love a bit of distressing. I can’t seem to paint a piece without abusing it !
Love the colour too – I’m currently using French Grey, but they’re all gorgeous.
I am folowing you. Love your blog and Shop 🙂 I look forward to seeing you at My Dream Canvas!
The blue really shows off all the pretty details of the chair. Good job…Connie
I usually just stick with whites and light grays, but I really love the blue you used. Great transformation! Glad I found you over on French COuntry Cottage!
What a sweet chair Danielle! I’ve used that very same blue on chairs and it is such a pretty color!
Perfect shabby chic look! Love it!
Great chair! That turned out very cute!
Thanks for linking up this week!
