These chairs are another customer order, from the great couple that I just finished the Duncan Phyfe table for . They’d been buried under layers and layers of paint for years. Really. Ugly. Paint. With a flat finish at that. Yuck. I could just picture how gorgeous they were going to look around that table, when they’re finished. Can’t you? This is the vibe we were going for…..and I think we nailed it!
The chairs got a gorgeous coat of medium gray paint in a satin finish, a little light distressing around the edges, and I finished up with a clear coat of wax to seal them.
