Pretty in Pink: A Child’s Chair

pink chair with painted dandelions

This pretty little pink painted child’s chair may just be my favorite little chair yet!

As I shared before, I am a bit obsessed with tiny chairs and have quite the pile in my basement so you can expect to see plenty of mini chair redos around here.  This one started out as a pretty basic little wooden chair.

I have a total love affair with the color blue in all of its wonderful shades and that will probably never change. But over the past few months a new color has really been catching my eye. There is an amazing shade of raspberry/hot pink by Valspar called Couture. I have used it a few times now and I have decided it is the absolute perfect shade of pink. Not too precious or girly, but very pretty. So when it came time for another wee chair makeover, pink it was.

I adore the color but thought it needed just a little something more, so I added a few dandelions.  You totally do not need to be an artist to paint these. I used a simple white paint pen which made it incredibly easy.  If you look closely, you can see it is really just drawing a lot of small lines.

 I think this little chair is so sweet.  It would definitely make an amazing gift for any little girl.

    Super cute! I have 3 mini chairs clogging up my garage and this may be just what one of them needs! However, I am not too sure about my ability to paint such cute little flowers!

    Oh gosh.. I’d paint up a few of those tiny chairs and put them in your shop…. you never know what people want to buy for Christmas gifts, and my grandchildren LOVE little chairs.

    I love this! The dandelion is fabulous and I love how you painted the floaties (whatever they’re called)on the arm and back of the chair too.

    Adorable little chair! Great job on the makeover! My brother and I use to have rocking chairs made like these when we were little. Wish I still had them.

      Yes, I had a similar rocking chair as a child too – it is still at my grandmother’s house.
