This is the true color it was. Ekkk! Rather scary indeed. |
And here it is today after a month and a half. I started it at the tail end of February and piddle with it on and off. Thats just how I roll. |
I finished it off with clear and dark wax. My favorite clear wax is CeCe Caldwell clear wax and my favorite dark wax is Fiddes & Sons. |
Here you can see some of the gold highlighting and two tone paint. |
Great job Pamela, it is so pretty! What a fabulous idea to use chair webbing as an accent to the drop cloth, it really gives it that grain sack effect!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks great, Pamela!! I totally do the same thing when I do paint jobs sometimes I finish them quick and other times it takes me a few weeks. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful chair - love how it turned out. I love your new blog header too btw!!

ReplyDeleteI think I already told you I adore this chair!! It's exactly what I was thinking for my office chair! Love the webbing - the perfect accent.
I've never upholstered anything so need to start small (hopefully it won't take me 6 weeks to finish - but I'm sure it will)!
Pinning this baby!
