I bought this set for $30 at a yardsale! I saw it and wasn't thrilled with the wood color or that lovely floral pattern, but the lines were beautiful! I knew that there was some promise after putting in a little elbow grease!
Before:
AND After:
This was the usual furniture painting process. I removed the cushion and then sanded, primed, sanded, painted, dried, and painted again. I then decided that I wanted the grooves to stand out a little more and so I went back with a thin paint brush and white acrylic paint and painted the grooves!! I used a paper towel to smudge the acrylic paint a little. I didn't want a perfect look. It needed to look worn! For the fabric, I used good ole' drop cloth, $10 for a two pack! Can't beat it!
Here we used the chair as a prop for the photo booth at Harper's first birthday party. The color was great against the white sheet back drop!
Sweet Harper!
Happy Monday, Ya'll!

ReplyDeleteThank you for the encouragement and for stopping by! I, too, am a huge fan of green; it makes a statement but also works as a neutral! Can't go wrong there!
