Oh my goodness this is gonna save so much time I'm redoing a friends grandmothers dining set, 6 chairs and a china cabinet and I was dreading the chairs with spindle legs and spindle backs, beautiful set but holy cow it was gonna be very time consuming until now lol I'm going to my local stockist today to get that sponge. Thank you thank you thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Country chic paint it's all I use
I am taking a week off after Labour Day to paint 2 dressers and 4 bedside tables. This paint and the tutorials will be extremely helpful in deciding how to do them! Thank You!
Thanks never thought about using a sponge
Thank you!! I have a chair that belonged to a dear friend that I really don’t want to let go. Very encouraged by this video! ❤
I'm so glad to hear that! Thanks for watching!
Great idea with the sponge! I have two chairs at home I have been putting off due to the spindles! I will be going to the store to pick my colours this weekend! Thanks for all the great ideas.
I'm doing this tomorrow! And feel pretty confident!
That's great! Happy painting Connie!
I am new to furniture painting and just started as a relaxing hobby. Your country chic tutorials have been tremendously helpful in getting me started! I just finished a small magazine rack and am next going to work on an old coffee table to give it a makeover. So excited to do that! Thank you for your wonderful tutorials.
Super helpful. I started painting a spindly chair with a brush and immediately realized I needed a different approach! I suspected a sponge would be the answer but never painted with one before. This video showed me what to do. Thanks!
Thanks for watching Michelle!
It's about 6:10 on Fri. Evening, Mar.16. Thank you for your video.Your chair is beautiful! I also love shabby chic!❤
Thanks so much for watching!
I am in the process of repainting my dining room furniture. This will save me lots of time. Thanks
Great tip! Always hated doing spindles, now piece of cake!
Ty!
Love the idea of using the sponge for painting spindles. My next project is a hall tree from reclaimed materials. Cant wait to get to work on it. However that will be a few weeks as we are stil recovering from the massive flooding in our town. It has been devastating!
What a great video. My next project is painting my kitchen table and spindle chairs! I cannot wait to try your technique on the chairs,
What a great idea !!!! So fast ! Looks so good ! I've never used you paint before! I'd like too ! I just started Chalk painting! I just finished my first little end table. It was so fun ! Next my Farm Table! Going to stain top dark walnut and chalk paint the rest! Love this hobby ! Thanks! Oh the lady who shows is things is adorable !! I love listening to her and her instructions are compleat ! Thank you! Debra in California
Thank you so much for this video! I will save so much time from now on. My next project is fixing and painting a broken, reclaimed church bench!
Great idea. Just purchased a refurbished rocking chair and I'm going to paint it white. Thank you
Thanks for watching, Shawn!
thank you for the tip on painting spindles. I recently picked up a set of chairs in desperate need of paint and have been putting them off. I will be trying this soon!
Great tips, thank you. My next project is painting a pair of old bedside tables. I have been putting it off for some time now and this is a perfect time to finally pick out colors and get started!
Thank you for the tutorial. This is such an obvious way to get into the nooks and crannies! Now I'm inspired to bring up those unfinished chairs from the basement😄
My next project will be a coffee table that my mom has from her mom. I am doing a three layer distress. Love Love Love Country Chic Paint. I can't wait to sell country chic paint...
I love the sponge you were using. I can't wait for it to be added to your line. My next project that I will be working on is an end of bed bench.
I have used Country Chic Paint in a paint sprayer with beautiful results, for a very clean, modern finish. I love the ease of using a sponge too, definitely going to give it a try next time. My next project is a dining set with cane back chairs.
I have so many chairs to do! Greatest tip ever! THANK YOU!
I have an old desk and chair I have been wanting to refurbish. I call it my vany-desk because I use it as a vanity and a desk. I love the idea for painting with a sponge and the distressed look is a gorgeous idea for the chair I have to paint.
Great way to paint spindles. my next is a table and chairs. would love to win some paint. love your tutorials.
Thank you for the tip. After painting three chairs with spindles with a brush, I can't wait to try the sponge. It looks much easier than attacking those hard to reach places with a brush! I end up with more paint on my hands than on the chair :-) Can't wait to purchase the sponge!
Spindles are a pain to paint, thanks for the tip! I am going to try painting with the color luscious lime, and I have a small liquor cabinet that is the perfect piece to try it on!! This is the best paint I have ever used!!
Just finished first coat on spooled spindles so I am going to use a sponge for the second coat. The cheesecake paint is looking great with the rush seat! Antiquing the spool detail will be next. Thanks for the tip.
Thanks...my next project is painting a primitive table and chairs....loved the tutorial!
Great video. We just finished painting some chairs with spindles and I wish that we had had that wonderful painting sponge. What a great idea because painting spindles can be tedious and if you're not careful and put to much on you get ridges and drips. Not very nice at all. We ended up doing a lot of light sanding and smoothing. This is what happens when your hubby helps and he as a heavy hand.
Why didn't I think of painting chair spindles like that?? Thanks for the tip!! I was just gifted some wooden chairs with spindles! Perfect timing!!!
Now I'm ready for spindles :) I have a side table that is dark brown and would like to brighten it up with Country Chic Paint and update the look. Thank you for the tutorials :)
Thanks for the tutorial. Using a sponge is going to make painting chair so much easier. My next project I am going to paint my rocking chair and I am going to try a glaze for the first time. I am quite excited for the new experience and to see how it's going to turn out!
I first want to say I've learned a lot from your videos, my next project I think will be a small table and 4 chairs for my kitchen. Waiting on cooler temps
what a easy and cool way to get 'er done!
Looks like it makes it so much easier.. Want to try this on my next project. A pair of curvy French style night stands.
I wish I had seen this video a few weeks ago! I just finished 4 spindle chairs, which I am not at all happy with. This sponge would have made it so easy and would not have taken me Forever to do! I used another company's products and I am not that pleased with the paint or the wax. I signed up to receive your emails and will continue to watch you on youtube. My next project is an old wood shipping trunk that I want to use for a coffee table. Thank you for your great instructions. I'll be ordering paint very soon. Francie Garneau
Hi Francie,
Thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying our tutorials and I hope you'll have fun with our products!
I've been using a round brush for spindles but this looks much easier! I have a desk and chair to paint next.
Super tip Rosanne :) My next project is going to be a large mirror. Because the style screams 'Country Chic' I plan to paint it using the weathered wood look...at least that's the idea :)
such a great idea..think I might paint my kitchen chairs now!
I love this-going to do an old seat of a chair like this so the spindle idea on base will be handy
This is great, I will use this technique in the near future. thanks
My next paint project is an old tv armoire that I'm converting to a seating area and it will have hooks on the sides for jackets :) can't wait to get it started! But I need paint!
Recently tried this paint. Fabulous!
Thanks for sharing the great tip. Need to get one of those sponges for sure😎👍
Thanks so much for this tutorial, Roseanne. It's very timely as my next project is a magazine rack and I was NOT looking forward to painting those spindles :-)
I love this tutorial! Thanks so much for sharing! My next project with be a hutch that my daughter currently uses for her sweaters. I'm looking forward to getting started!
Why didn't I know about this years ago??? Love the tip and love the paint.
Thanks so much for the tutorial on spindles...I am currently working on chairs and this helps so much. My next project will be my wooden barstools...I'm very anxious to give them more of an antique/distressed look. Love your products!
Congratulations Cindy, you're our lucky winner! Please contact me at sarah@countrychicpaint.com to redeem your prize. I will need to know your shipping address as well as your two color choices. You can see all of our colors at www.countrychicpaint.com/colors
Have a wonderful day!
~Sarah
WOOHOO!!!!! I'm so excited!!!!! Looking at colors now!!! :)
I really could have used that sponge this week. We painted and recovered 12 chairs among other things. I am anxiously awaiting their release.
Chairs on my to do list next!!
Thanks for another great video! My next project waiting in line for refinishing is an dressing table and mirror.
Thank you for this tutorial...my next project is transferring some of my photographs to wood...after that, I guess I am doing some chairs :-)
Love the sponge. I have a chair I'd like to try this on!
Great idea!
Anne.
Thank you for the awesome tip, I paint a lot of chairs and kinda wondering why I didn't think of this lol. And btw your paint is amazing
I have to buy one of these sponges because my next project will be painting the mantel and shelves that surround my restored 1920s fireplace. I am going to do white but on the back of the shelves I want to sponge a metallic cream finish in silver to mimic the effect of mercury glass!
This is brilliant!
Thank you!
This was helpful, best one yet
A large dresser I bought for ME! Only have to decide color pallette. Bedroom is very neutral, thinking it needs a bold color!
I love your paint next project will be an end table
My next project is a vintage desk that I plan on making shabby chic in Simplicity and Vintage Cupcake.
I will next paint project will be a small beside table with drawers that has been used in my craft room but after it's new look, will be in a bedroom.
How weird is this, I was just painting a chair with spindles today, thinking oh my gosh this is so time-consuming and then I came home tonight and I looked in my email and here was this video👍 thank you for sharing,
tomorrow I'll put the second coat on with the sponge instead of the brush😊
What perfect timing! Happy painting Debbie :)
HAHAHA! Why didn't I think of that? I did my chairs already! tomorrow I'm doing the table, maybe I'll use a sponge on the legs.
liked the idea of the sponge, but I would like to see both options , a vintage look and a perfect elegant look.
Thanks for stopping by!
Lightly sand the chair with 150 grit sand paper, spray a thin coat of primer and finish with coat of paint using a 3 inch roller on the flat portions and a 2 inch brush on rounded areas. The finished product looks cleaner, more even and takes the same amount of time.
I'm new to this process and have been timid at just doing it. Your videos and products are the most helpful I have found! I'm wanting to do an old hutch that has been passed down from the 70's. Would this piece be too big for my first "project"?
Thank you very much Lanee! I'm so glad to hear you've enjoyed our tutorials.
If you're really nervous, it might be a good idea to find some smaller home decor items you can paint to build up your confidence before you tackle a large piece like a hutch. Make sure it's something unsentimental so you won't be afraid to play around with new techniques on it!
My next painting project will be a old "tool belt cubbie" that was rescued from an about to be demolished building where my father used to work. It will be used for fabric storage in my quilting room when finished.
My next project is to redo my front entry by updating an old storage bench, half moon table and a trifold set of window shutters for wall decor.
What a fabulous idea! Where can you find painting sponges?
We will be offering them in the Country Chic Paint line soon!
Fantastic!
hello stumbled across your video i want to paint some spindle chairs white but I also want to paint splat the chairs after will I need to apply vanish after the splat.....thanks
If you're using a durable paint like ours, you may not need to use a top coat at all, but if the chairs are going to be very high traffic with potential for scratches, spills, etc. then something like our Clear Coat is a good idea to add extra protection and durability: shop.countrychicpaint.com/clear-coat/
the list is endless but a hutch best be soon as it takes up so much room ;)
How long did you wait til you distressed it and what grit sanding block?
Do you think that this sponge technique would work on stair spindles/ballisters? They aren't straight-they are "carved"-about 1"-1 1/2 " in diameter. I hate painting them and they are due for a refresh.
Hi Deb,
I don't see why not! I think a sponge would work beautifully for any spindles. Just be careful that you don't push the sponge too hard into any carved details or you might produce some small bubbles. I would recommend using a sponge for the majority of your work, then a small detail brush for the rest.
Happy painting!
Great idea! I bought some of those sponges from the states do you sell as well?
They will be available in the Country Chic Paint line soon, so stay tuned!
What kind of paint is that and can you get it in silver and do you have to use a primer first? How do you know it won’t stick on peoples arms after you paint it or rub off on their clothes
Hi Kathryn! The paint used in this video is Country Chic Paint (shop.countrychicpaint.com/paint). It's not available in silver unfortunately, but we do have several pretty shades of grey that you might like. Primer is most often not required, but it can be helpful for non-porous surfaces like laminate, metal, or glass.
Our paint is designed to be very durable so once it's dried it won't rub off on clothing or skin. If wet paint does get on your clothing, just rinse it out before it dries. This paint is water-based so cleanup is very easy!
Love this video, so helpful too! Question: did you sand the chair before chalk painting it?Thank you!
Hi Deborah,
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! That's a great question. In this particular case we didn't do any prep work except cleaning the surface to remove any dust and potential contaminants. However some pieces with a shinier finish or oily products on them might require a bit more work. Make sure you check out our surface prep tutorial for full instructions: www.countrychicpaint.com/pages/surface-preparation
Happy painting!
My next project is a large old TV storage unite with lots of storage, nooks, and crannies, but no spindles!
I wonder if the sponge would make painting slats in a bifold easier? 🤔
I will be painting and creating a bookshelf out of wooden crates
Where can I buy that sponge?
After u distressed the chairs, do u put a top coat of clear on?
You don't necessarily have to, but wax or a top coat is a good idea for adding extra protection. If your piece will get a lot of heavy wear and tear, our Tough Coat is a great option!
Two comments: (1) This is a great idea, thank you very much. I've never seen a sponge like that, I wish you would have mentioned it. (2) Please look at the camera when speaking rather than reading from a script.
where can you find a painting sponge like that? It is different than the ones i've seen around! tia
Hi Nancy,
These will be available as part of the Country Chic Paint line soon, so stay tuned!
Do you have to remove old varnish before painting?
You don't always have to, but giving your piece a light scuff sanding to remove some of the shine is a good idea. That will help with adhesion. For more surface prep tips you can check out our tutorial at www.countrychicpaint.com/pages/surface-preparation
I have looked everywhere for that sponge, where did you get it?
You can get them at your local Country Chic Paint retailer, or from our online shop! www.countrychicpaint.com
Can you use this same method with regular paint?
Hi Gloria,
The techniques you use will work differently with different types of paint. I can't speak to the performance of other brands of paint, but I would guess it will be similar!
how long do you let the paint dry in between coats?
Normally we recommend waiting about 1-2 hours between paint coats but if you're painting very thin coats with a sponge, you can probably get away with starting your second coat sooner!
My next project is painting an old set of cubbies for my sons room
Was this chair sanded before painting?
This particular chair was not :) For any glossy pieces though, be sure to give them a quick sand to dull the shine a bit!
Love it! Enjoy your videos and have used many different kinds of paint. Yours is my fav!! Thanks for the great tips!! @wrvintique
after 2nd coat how long to dry before distressing?
Great question Melanie! It depends what kind of distressing you're doing. If you're using sandpaper you'll want to make sure the paint is completely dry before you begin distressing it, so 2-3 hours is best. If you're wet distressing with a damp rag, you'll probably only need to wait about 30 minutes.
Which paint you uses
It's All-in-One Decor Paint made by yours truly, Country Chic Paint! shop.countrychicpaint.com/paint/
No sanding first?
I thought sponges soaked up paint. So I have not used,but I will now
But how do you paint JUST the spindles?
You will probably need to tape off the top and bottom of the spindle to avoid painting the wood banisters etc.
Please stop painting gorgeous hand crafted hard wood chairs , you are doing damage that will be virtually in possible to rectify. The person who built that chair will be spinning in their grave let alone the person that felled and seasoned the timber and the tree that died to make it. Quality vintage furniture is not throw away IKEA furniture, next year when the "shabby chic" fad goes out of fashion that 60 year old chair will end up in the bin. If you fancy painting something get a job as a decorator .
Painting a chair is not refinishing it refinishing is varnish which it was originally believe i just got done sanding one some A hole painted on top of varnish/finish 3 coats was like a rubber coating on chair was horrific & disgraceful to destroy a beautiful piece of hand craftsmanship with paint & pple dnt even sand it down first & act like they did something special lazy AF
