CHECKERED CHEST
A BASIC THREE-DRAWER CABINET RECEIVES A PLAYFUL PAINT TREATMENT.
Step 1: Sand the chest, and wipe clean.Step 2: Prime and then paint the outside of the chest in a satin finish. (We used a pale yellow.)

Apply white paint to the edges, and let dry.

Step 1: Using a screwdriver, remove the screws from the underside of the chair cushion. Lift off the seat cushion.Step 2: Distress the chair using an awl to make worm holes, and beat wood lightly with a hammer, including edges, to give a worn look.
Step 3: Sand the chair thoroughly, and then wipe clean. Prime the chair, and allow to dry.
Step 4: Brush on two thick coats of white paint. Use rags to rub in paint so that some of the wood grain still shows through. Allow each coat to dry thoroughly.
Step 5: Brush on two coats of blue paint. Use rags to rub in paint so that some of the wood grain and white paint still show through. Allow each
coat to dry thoroughly.
Step 6: Rub antiquing glaze onto the edges and other parts of the chair as needed to give them an aged look. Allow to dry.
Step 7: To highlight the edges, apply the accent glaze randomly so that it looks rubbed off in some areas. Allow to dry.
Step 8: Spray on a clear protective finish, and allow to dry.
Step 9: Remove the old fabric from the seat. Lay the seat on a drapery panel, and cut around it, adding 3 inches to the length on all four sides. With a staple gun, staple the panel to the seat from underneath, turning under raw edges. Pull tight, and fold in at corners as if you were wrapping a present.
