No Strip or Sand Stained Dining Chairs

I wanted new dining chairs for my own home to go with our antique Duncan Phyfe style dining table  I restored. Previously we had leather parson's chairs but I have always loved the look of wooden pressback chairs so this is what I chose to replace them with. And I am going to stain them WITHOUT stripping and sanding! I had 2 sets of press back chairs in my stock to paint, now to decide which set. My husband and I did a comfort sitting test and of course visual and went with the slightly larger ones on the left. This set also has 2 captains chairs as a bonus.

Millennial Pink Jewelry Box



I love a good jewelry box makeover, the traditional colors are just so blah. This reddish colored wood one with pretty soft grey interior seemed to speak pink so pink it is.


Fusion Mineral Paint in English rose AKA millennial pink was applied in 2 coats then lightly distressed to reveal a bit of the reddish wood and give an aged farmhouse look.


In keeping with the aged farmhouse look I applied Krylon looking glass spray to the etched glass door panels to give a faux mercury glass appearance.


This combination is very popular, click here to see 2 others done in this pretty pink 
as well as as a solid pink version here.
