Furniture FaceLift



 
The Cranky Queen bought 4 of these nice sturdy chairs for $5 each at a yard sale.  In her haste, she immediately placed them in her booth at the local antique mall, The Pickle Patch Market and thought to her 'royal self '..."These will sell fast & the lucky buyer can recover & paint them as they please"...Well, they sat and sat and sat...


So finally her royal self brought them back to the palace for a "face lift'!  In the mean time, Duchess Melanie, informed the Queen that she had a table that matched perfectly...hence a "match made in furniture heaven!"



A coat of Kiltz &  SW Dover white paint...then wiped down with a walnut stain glaze. The final touch, striped fabric with brown tones!

This chair is now "fit for a Queen's throne!"



        
The table & chairs in the booth. SOLD!




               



Don't you just adore the vintage fabric on the seat!?!

 A fresh coat of light aqua~colored paint & some sanding...
             Ugly duckling transformed into a swan...

Hail to the Cranky Queen...she had a "face lift"...
well, at least the furniture did~

STAY CALM & GIVE A PIECE OF FURNITURE A "FACE LIFT"!

  4. I do love a facelift....on furniture and "before and afters" really get me going! I didn't know you had a booth! You are and enterprising part of the Royal family. That's what I need...a booth...before my house explodes from all my "stuff". You did a beautiful job on all of it. Do you spray paint the furniture or use a brush? Amazing transformation!
