They both have very different personalities.<BR/><BR/>The chair is near completion, and took longer than I thought it might.

I have tons of projects I want to do but I want to do them right so they are just sitting for now. I, like you, just want to get them done. So I take short cuts then regret it later. <BR/><BR/>I'm dying to do my headboard but I don't want to do the striping part. I just want to paint it and have it done. But I won't. I'll do it right.......if I do it at all. LOL<BR/><BR/>But I did buy Howard Citrus Shield Natural Paste wax for when I do get it painted. I learned this from Cindy at Romantic Homes. It's what she uses.Joanne Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15550534887793382985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4669331778260563182.post-70552583115086134212008-06-01T16:38:00.000-07:002008-06-01T16:38:00.000-07:00Hi Glenda, Did you get my ugly chair pictures?I se...Hi Glenda, <BR/>Did you get my ugly chair pictures?<BR/>I sent them to you a bit ago...<BR/><BR/>I think you should put a little antiqueing on it too!

It was lots of hard work, but I was pretty pleased with the results for a first-timer. Now both pieces look fantastic in our Guest Room which we have just finished renovating & I'm feeling confident to tackle more projects.<BR/><BR/>Looking forward to seeing the finished product.<BR/>From Millie ^_^Milliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15408461724832141163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4669331778260563182.post-89384367200372831802008-05-31T07:53:00.000-07:002008-05-31T07:53:00.000-07:00Hi Glenda, nice chair and nice job! can't wait to ...Hi Glenda, nice chair and nice job! can't wait to see it finished!

You could do...Hi Glenda!<BR/>The chair is looking great! You could do an antique look on it by just using a darker craft paint and a rag or several small rags. Paint a small area away from the fabric, then take a clean part of the rag to carefully spread the color, leaving more in the grooves. It will be painstaking due to the fabric but worth it. You can use the putty knife idea to protect the fabric.<BR/><BR/>For sealing I use Minwax Fast Drying Polyurethane - Clear Satin. <BR/>I like a softer finish so I use satin or flat.<BR/><BR/>Refinishing is always a pain to get through but after it's done and you look at what you've accomplished it's so worth it. You're doing a great job!<BR/><BR/>Hugs, SherryEdie Marie's Attichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16497518764917499463noreply@blogger.com
