I missed you! (Missed my daily dose LOL!)

The chairs and pillows are FANTABULOUS!!

I wish I didn't live so far away, I'd LOVE to come to the cotillion!

ps - I love toile too and I've recently converted all my pillows to feather.

Tracey

I share your toile love and oooooooh am I wishing I had found that at Wal-Mart for $2.50! Happy Monday Tracey!

Lisa


What a find! And, what a simply perfect update you are working on the chairs.

Thanks for the continual inspiration!

Wow, I love the chairs and what you have done with them so far, the material looks wonderful too, I am excited to see the finished product!

Andrea

OH!!!!!!!!! Lovely. May I ask where you found the lovely toile in blue and brown?

Teresa Sheeley

Beautiful! How do you get rid of these chairs, they are so great, it would be hard for me not to keep them, especially with the pillows your mama is making, how lucious. Can't wait to see the whole ensemble.

Oh, I know it's okay to paint wood. Really I do. But why is it I feel like I am defacing something when I do? My dad was an upholsterer for over 40 years and built beautiful handcrafted furniture. He is a wood stain kind of guy. Maybe that's where I get it from. And also the fact he shakes his head every time he sees that I have painted something... lol!

Wow, you are good Tracey. You painted those chairs and didn't get ANY paint on the fabric? Amazing. I'm more of a sloppy painter and wouldn't have been able to pull that one off!!

Can't wait to see the finished products :)

Blessings,

Sher

I have a couch that I had upholstered and then regretted that I didn't paint it. I'm excited to see that you painted with the upholstery. Do you have any pointers for me? Can you also please share your paint colors and any instructions you can. Love all your postings....thank you!! Alice

I'm speechless! (Except for you are amazing!)

Those chairs are going to be PERFECT! Aren't you tempted to want to keep them?

What color of paint and glaze did you use and how did you get the paint so smooth? It looks airbrushed. I would like to do the same technique on my raised panel doors to age them. Right, now they're white and they look too bright.

The chair is fabulous...can't wait to see the total end result!!

Could you please share with us the step by step process to achieve the look of the wood...pretty please. (When I was 21, first apartment, I purchased some used ORANGE upholstered Lincoln & Mary chairs... I scrimped & saved to have them re-upholstered in a creamy textured fabric. Fast forward 20 years later, and I desperately want to paint the dark wood with your paint/glaze technique)I would love to try my hand at it, but I'm concerned about painting around the upholstery. Hope to hear all about your painting technique soon. All the Best!
Gloria
