I redid this piece a while ago.
I WAS going to paint it white.
However,
after looking at it I
decided it needed to be black.
Some pieces just talk to me,
you know?
Kinda like my husband
except I listen better when
it is "bench talk"!;>)
I
am sorry to say that I don't have
a BEFORE picture.
It was a dull mahogany color,
battered and beaten.
It had a
PLEATHER tan colored
seat covering.
I added the applique to the back
with gorilla glue
before I started painting.
This is coated with some
black paint I had on hand.
I covered the seat with
a greenish grey angel fabric that
I had hoarded saved for years.
I suppose you don't want to know
that somehow I managed to
put a staple in my finger?
Do you know any good words
to use in a case like that?
If not- I can recommend a few
of my own favorites!
After painting two coats of black,
I used some gold
Rub & Buff
on the applique,
on the top of the stay across
the back,
and on the legs.
I distressed it slightly on the
legs and along the edges.
Then, I topped it with
a matte poly finish.
Please ignore the flipped up fringe on
the rug below.
I hate when that happens.
This cute little piece is in
my sitting room now
until it finds a permanent home.
And here y'all thought all I did
was sit on my butt and
play on the computer.
I'm not as lazy as I look!
Hope you find some sweet
projects to do that make you
smile.
