– Ornate chair

9 / 23 / 111 / 19 / 18
 

So back to my project, 4 different chairs for the kitchen table, one paint color and one fabric like I mentioned here.  I can go a little crazy in the kitchen that is OK 🙂


I bought an old ugly Burgundy chair, yes it was a very shiny burgundy chair, but I liked its ornate and carved details.


I didn’t sand it, I just used Kiltz Spray Primer ( or Zinsser), then I paint it with “Valspar Aqua Ocean paint”. Then I realized that the ornate top that I fell in love with is loose 🙁
This is what happens when you are so excited and you don’t pay attention to how sturdy is the piece that you are buying. To fix it I used “Elmer’s Wood Filler” and “Gorilla Super Glue”. Lightly sand the wood filler and paint over it.

9 / 21 / 111 / 19 / 18

The Kitchen table is where I spend all the daytime ( not eating, well not only eating but also as my office )
So I want something fun, comfortable and stylish.


I needed 4 chairs, I had in mind that I want 4 different style chairs, paint them one color, use one fabric.



So this is my first chair:

Not so pretty right

– Nasty Bench Turns Rustic ….

9 / 2 / 111 / 19 / 18

This bench was given to me for free by a lady from whom I bought a French Armoire. I will post the French Armoire project at a later time.

 

It was nasty, dusty and overall very unappealing bench ( I guess this is why it was free … hey, no complaint.)

So here are the steps :

(1) After a light sanding job, I spray painted random areas of the bench with ” Rustoleum Heirloom White.” (2) After drying out, I resanded almost all of the white paint with a fine grid sanding wedge. (3) I buffed it with a wet cloth, (4)then I used my foam brush and stained the bench with “Minwax Stain Jacobean 2750.” 24 hours later, I started on the upholstery.

 

The upholstering process:

I bought 3″ thick green foam from Joann’s fabrics, because as you may see the bench was very rigid and stiff. Now it all ready after a new big foamy layer , batting, and the fabric all joined by a stapling gun.

For the piping I used the remains of the fabric, a piping cord, and my zipper foot on the sewing machine. The fabric had a fringe/frayed edge so I didn’t have to cut it. I kept it as I felt it went well with the distressed rustic style.

Voila 🙂

This pillow is a no sew , I just used a steam adhesuze tape, check out the tutorial here.

The back was a bit cracked so I glued this hardware to cover it and it adds the old and rustic feel to it
