Here is her post which features her latest DIY project:
Inspired by Target and Missoni
Hello, I’m DeAnna Mackensen, interior designer and owner of
REDesign Interiors. I have been a
do-it-yourselfer since before that term became popular! Last week I was inspired by Missoni and
Target to DIY this chevron chair.
I have
a very small porch and I wanted to sit outside and drink my coffee every
morning. I needed a small chair and some
inspiration. The chair came from Target
and the inspiration from my Missoni coffee mug.
Cost of Project:
Approx. $40
Materials Needed:
Target Chair (1)
Spray Paint Primer (1)
Spray Paint in white (1)
Spray Paint in Green (1)
Painter’s Tape
1. Create your Chevron design
2. Block off the Chevron design with Blue Painter’s
tape. Be sure to cover the back side of
the chair also. I used painter’s tape
and a sheet to cover most of the chair.
You want to be sure to cover the back so no spray paint flecks go where
you don’t want them.
3. Begin with painting the large white block of
Chevron with primer. This is a fast
process however be sure to allow for adequate drying time. Follow the directions on the paint can. The more time spent on prep means your paint
job will last longer. Be patient.
4. Spray on the white coat of paint. Allow to dry.
Spray another coat.
5. Tape off the green Chevron pattern.
6.
Spray on the green coat of paint. Allow to dry.
Spray another coat.
Time spent prepping:
30 minutes
Time spent painting: 10
minutes
Time spent waiting for paint to dry: Priceless. . .
Every morning I enjoy my coffee and I put my mug on that stump
of firewood!
Cheers, DeAnna
