A little while back I purchased a pair of schoolhouse chairs at my friend Amy’s garage sale.

Super cute ‘as is’ really.  But I decided to give them a holiday look.

I painted one of them in Dixie Belle’s Drop Cloth, and the other in their English Ivy.

Then I went through my stash of stencils.  I have a few that fit on these little chairs.

In the past I’ve used this cute Milk & Cookie Co stencil from Wallcutz …

… a few times actually …

and this cute Christmas Farm stencil.

This sort of Scandinavian look was a good one too.

Sorry, I’m not quite sure where those last two stencils came from.

I liked the simpler look of this next stencil on more of a mid-mod style chair (stencil also from Wallcutz).

I may do another one like this yet this year.

But I was in the mood for something new on these two chairs, so I started searching online.  I ended up finding a stencil I liked from Three Birds Stencils on Etsy, and I was able to order it in the right size to fit my chairs.

I added it to the green chair using DB’s Drop Cloth, and to the white chair using their Coffee Bean, just in case someone out there prefers a more neutral Christmas color scheme.

I’ll be bringing both of these chairs to the craft show that I’m participating in tomorrow.

Unless of course a local reader wants to call dibs on either (or both) of them today.  Check out my ‘available for local sale‘ page for more details.

As for the rest of you, leave a comment and let me know which of my many chairs was your favorite!
