I love some you took awhile ago in Charleston and would like to have two prints made to hang in my house.

I have some wicker I want to paint and I love the suggestions you received in the comments. Thank you for your prayers regarding the wildfires. We have been in the smoke all summer long. The loss to our forests and the homes are awful.<br />Prayers are appreciated.<br />Fondly,<br />Betty<br />My Cozy Cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10266223041895982637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245215492918574322.post-44680929599366388982021-09-05T09:31:34.532-03:002021-09-05T09:31:34.532-03:00Też jestem fanką niebiesko-białej porcelany:)Kocha...Też jestem fanką niebiesko-białej porcelany:)Kocham klimat Twojego bloga:))bozenashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16793883210205872666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245215492918574322.post-37378352238344673152021-09-04T21:15:56.643-03:002021-09-04T21:15:56.643-03:00Carolyn,

Thank you so much! Also I think painting your chair with chalk paint is the way to go. I hear that it covers everything and doesn’t need prior prep. Check out Annie Sloans website.

Regarding painting wicker furniture. It needs to be cleaned with sugar soap (we call it this in UK). This cleans and often reduces the shiny finish. Then some sanding is needed, to give it a surface that the paint will adhere to. Then paint with chalk paint - usually requires 2 to 3 coats. Then, if required, it can be finished with either wax or a finishing coat. Depending what sort of finish you prefer. Hope this helps, Gilly (UK)Gillyflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07952504453277788850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245215492918574322.post-63003526545225407162021-09-04T03:23:23.970-03:002021-09-04T03:23:23.970-03:00I own and sell lots of white wicker here in Michig...I own and sell lots of white wicker here in Michigan. Do not use chalk paint. It will not hold up well. I use KILZ primer in a spray paint for the initial coverage. Then I use Rustoleum satin white spray paint. I bought very dark brown wicker and had great success painting it white. I did lightly sand a shiny green wicker piece before applying the primer and paint. I normally repaint my wicker about every five years. I do not like to spray more often than that because the build up of paint ruins the texture of the wicker.firefly819https://www.blogger.com/profile/18126117740376768788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245215492918574322.post-26495959107424502402021-09-03T21:27:53.070-03:002021-09-03T21:27:53.070-03:00Dearest Carolyn,
