Rustic Country Chairs Makeover in Classic Black

Favorite Combo Custom Painted Antique Dresser

A valued customer entrusted me with restoring an antique dresser she found online. It was in much rougher shape than advertised when she picked it up, but I believe I transformed it to match her vision. With its classic warm white finish and a darker stained top, it now has the timeless charm she envisioned.

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.
