Farmhouse Chair Pair Update in Fusion's Champlain


A good customer custom called my last press back chair and brought 2 of her own dining chairs to be painted to match along with a wee step stool to paint a fun teal.


Here are all before


Above all cleaned and ready to paint and below 1 coat of  Fusion Mineral Paint in Champlain. Again I used my large oval Staalmeester brush to apply it.


And here is 2 coats

Both were lightly distressed then Fusion's ageing wax  was rubbed on. See left is done and right is not



Here they are with big sister press back





Here is a closeup of the stool, she wanted it done just like the exact same stool I did before Christmas in antique teal. Hers was honey was the only difference :)
