I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July! We spent our weekend relaxing at home with friends and I was finally able to work on a project I had in mind for awhile – wooden\u00a0chair makeover.<\/p>\n

We found this ikea chair at a garage sale a while ago. It was a plain white wooden chair that wasn’t in perfect condition, but the\u00a0scratches and dings definitely gave it character. Although I had no plans to do a chair makeover when I bought the chair, I have been in the painting mood<\/em> ever since\u00a0my mom visited us from Japan.<\/p>\n

My mom is an expert at tole painting, a\u00a0folk art and decorative painting, and she taught me how to paint on various surfaces using unique brush techniques. She gave me and my daughter\u00a0a painting lecture, which\u00a0was\u00a0a\u00a0whole<\/em> lot of fun.\u00a0While I always and love to paint by freehand, it was interesting to learn that\u00a0tole painting uses patterns and unique techniques. I will definitely be incorporating some tole painting techniques in my future work.<\/p>\n

Crafting and painting is always\u00a0a wonderful way to bond. I would love to hear how you bond with your family and friends!<\/p>\n
