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.

Ombre Jumbo Pepper Grinder ~ navy to grey



WOW this is the tallest wooden pepper grinder I have ever seen. It measures over 16" high!


I painted it in an ombre look using Fusion Mineral Paint in midnight blue for the bottom portion and little lamb for the top. Both colors were applied in 2 coats with them mixed together for the middle color and blended into top and bottom.


To give it a bit more sheen I wiped on Fusion's Hemp Oil with a cloth and buffed.





It makes a real statement on the dining table or on the counter
