to paint or not to paint
I found an adorable chair at my local Goodwill Store today. I was looking for another piece of furniture to paint with chalk paint. At $12.99, I had no trouble deciding whether to take it home... Now that it is home, I am not sure that I should paint it. The chair is in great shape. The seat has definitely been sat on many times. The spindles could be steadier. I wonder if a little liquid wood carefully applied at the base of the spindles would help. Please help me decide...should I go for the painted look OR just apply some wax and enjoy "as is?"

I'd do whatever works best in your home. I don't change the original finish of anything pre-Victorian but anything else is game. Pretty chair and a great buy! ~ Maureen
