French Chair Reveal, Glaze Mix, & Simple Upholstery
There’s a lot of good information and inspiration in this post, so get ready! First of all, the beauty shot. Now, the before shot. I’m so happy with how these turned out. I’m taking the pair of arm chairs (only one is pictured in the before shot) to the Ground Hog Day Sale at Lucketts (Feb 4-6). If you’d like […]
French Chairs – Painting Technique
I’m picking up where we left off yesterday with my newly acquired French arm chairs. So, the upholstery was removed and the frames were painted Georgian Revivial Blue by Sherwin Williams. This color is a little shocking at the moment, but just wait. Before moving on to the next step, I want to point out […]
Five French Chairs
(Not to be confused with Three French Hens.) In my funk-ti-tude yesterday, a few good things did happen. As I shared, I was great on my diet, I worked out, and I found some wonderful French chairs.

I just can’t help myself…
When I buy something, I rarely look at what it is… I always look at what it can be. Take these two metal pedestals for example. Great shape, great material, lots of uses. I just hated the red “antique finish” on them. It was too…manufactured. I painted them a flint gray and then rubbed on a […]
New Lenses
My new lenses finally arrived late Wednesday evening. It was after 7:00 pm and I was the last stop on the UPS route. I practically hugged the delivery guy. “I’ve been waiting for you ALL DAY LONG!!” He apologized and I grabbed the package, signed for it, dashed to the back of the house and sat […]
