Rustic Country Chairs Makeover in Classic Black

French Provincial Nightstand Modern Makeover

This nightstand is part of a charming French Provincial style bedroom set originally crafted by Malcolm Furniture here in Canada years ago. One of my valued customers entrusted me with giving this piece a fresh, updated look. She envisions the entire set transformed into a soothing medium grey, perfectly complementing her new home's décor. Given the nightstand's beautiful, solid construction, it was an easy and rewarding decision to invest in revitalizing this quality piece, ensuring it continues to bring beauty and functionality to its new setting.

Rustic farmhouse chairs reloved in classic shades of black, yes please.

A very good customer brought me these chairs he had painted to go with a table he purchased from me years ago he had changed up to black. I redid the dining table back to warm white but decided to keep the black on the chairs but to lessen the starkness in contrast with the light wood seats.

I scrubbed them up as the usual first step before sanding the seats to remove paint off the edges and get a fresh new wood surface.

The raw wood was hydrated and stained using Fusion Mineral Paint's Stain & Finishing Oil in ebony. This is the most fabulous product; wipe it on and wipe of the excess, let dry.

Two coats were applied to each chair.

The chair back and base were refreshed with a coat of Fusion Mineral Paint in coal black using my R16 small round Cling On Brush perfect for spindles.
