It has nice lines and very curvy girly legs. I primed it, painted it with 2 coats of white linen paint by glidden. Then I distressed it with a block covered in sandpaper. I then used glaze to cover it - you know - wipe on - wipe off. I think we have success Houston.
See how the glaze really sets off the curves and carved areas. I love this - too bad it has to go- but I am sure my sister will let me sit in it when I miss her :)
Off to do a table for her now..

Hey Tammy, returning your visit to my blog. Love this chair re-vamp. If I were you, I wouldn't give it back ;-)... Ah well, maybe I would...
ReplyDeleteTammy,
ReplyDeleteI am new to blogging and found you via Cottage Instincts. After seeing that WINTER burlap banner, I was hoping you had an etsy shop! This chair is beautiful. You are very creative and talented. I enjoyed looking through some of your posts and will be returning. Thanks for sharing.
Deborah
GORGEOUS!! I love it!
ReplyDeletewow, that's gorgeous. I've repainted loads of stuff, but have shied away from reupholstering. Ok, so the duct taped couch doesn't count - although it lasted for years!
ReplyDeleteactually saw duct tape tech on Christopher Lowell's show yrs ago.
New life!! It looks fantastic.
