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.

Little Tea Pot Frame

 

This solid wood frame was custom called to match a cute wooden tote a customer purchased. This fresh color update is perfect to bring in spring.


The before was ok but really needed a makeover. 
Step one ; take out art work, scrape off gunky crud off the top, scrub well with warm soapy water and Fusion TSP Alternative. Once dry lightly sand the frame smooth.


This is the raised stencil wood tote she purchased and wanted a frame to match.


Fusion Mineral Paint in the pretty tea pot was brushed on all sides but the inner gold edge. Two coats were painted on in total.

HERE are other little tea pot projects.


Using a sanding sponge lightly distress the edges for some rustic character.


Fusion Mineral Paint's ageing wax was brushed in all the crevices to add age.


It adds a perfect aged look as per the name.


And it is ready to be added to the customers home décor with the sweet wood tote.
