Vintage Silverware Chest in Goddess Ashwagandha white

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.

I love giving vintage silverware chests a modern update; here is the latest done in a lovely farmhouse white finish.

Solid wood with lovely dark stain but lots of wear begged for this update.

And I had the perfect color in my recent Fusion Mineral Paints's Lisa Marie Holmes color collection package.

Fusion Mineral Paints's newest paint color called Goddess Ashwagandha. These little tester pots are surprising in the surface they can cover. I also used this little pot to do this wood basket too.

Two coats were applied (see the first coat on the lower half and 2 on the top) then the edges were lightly distressed with a sanding sponge to reveal some of the original dark stain.
