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.

Malachite Jewelry Box


Isn't this a gorgeous jewelry box? The dark carved front just pops with this amazing malachite color from Jolie Paint.


This new jewelry box is lined with a lovely cream lining with great storage including a divided area and ring display and a bonus mirror.


I chose the color malachite from Jolie Paint nestled in this recently delivered parcel.


You can check out some of the other colors in this box used on these projects; navy on this sweet sofa table and verdigris used on this adorable chair and malachite on this cute accent chair.


Jolie Paint's malachite, in just a tester size was perfect. Two coats were applied in total (1 coat shown above and 2 below) then the jewelry box was wet distressed to reveal the lovely dark original finish and carved details.



 To seal the paint I applied Jolie's clear wax.

When the clear wax was dry, I added Fusion Mineral Paint's black and ageing waxes to add a bit more dimension.
