I know that it has been a while, but lastnight I was able to decompress and surf some home blogs. There are a few that I LOVE one that it strictly before and afters and then others that are moms with young ones that, when the project gets done its done. The speed depends on the agreeablility of ones husband as much as inspiration.
But lasnight, I got inspired, and hubby was out for the evening. And the kids, well they were actually very helpful and agreeable. I threw a drop sheet on the kitchen table, as it is December and a bit cold and damp outside, and I went to work. ((I would suggest using plastic under the drop sheet for your kitchen table. I had to do some scrubbing to get the paint that went thru the drop cloth onto the table.
So I onto the projects.....
You all remember the desk. ((I love it still)) I had to search and scope out stores to find a chair that would fit in that small space. I was actually looking for a stool, until I found this chair.

So these first 2 pictures are backwards. The chair ($8 at MCC) came with a big ugly price sticker. I googled and found out that using furniture polish (supposed to be actual oil) would lift the stickers right off. So I sprayed Endust and let it sit for a minute, then I had to scrape it off. But no damage to the wood or the lovely green paint.
Primed with 2 coats.
Then painted this morning. I have a feeling that this chair will need a few extra coats. I still haven't found the material that I want to pad the seat with. that'll come. As it is in the kitchen as a side bar of sorts, possibly co-ordinating fabric to the valances. We'll see.
