Queen Anne chair part 2

It's finished!!!  Finally!!!  I LOVE how it turned out and I know someone will be very happy with it in their home :)  The second part was mostly sewing.  I'm not great at explaining how to sew, sorry.  I have always just been able too.  In part thanks to my wonderful mommy :) thanks mom, and my home ec teacher in 7th grade.  It was soooo worth the wait because it is even better then I dreamed it would be.  Wish I could keep it but I know my 6 dirty kids would kill it in a matter of seconds.  Hope you love it as much as I do!

Finished!

 

From yuck to yummy :)

Ok, lame title but it really is yummy!  I found this chair at Goodwill with my good friend Jodi :) Well it was because of her that I got it.  I loved the legs so much and knew that if they were painted it would make an amazing chair.

Before, see what I mean, yuck!

It needed to have all the legs and arms tightened down.  The veneer was chipping off and couldn't be saved and the fabric was gross to say the least.  

I wanted a color that would pop in any room and bring out the great legs and arms so I chose ASCP in Emperor's silk.  After painting the first coat I would say that I accomplished my goal :)

After 3 good coats I was ready to wax.  Clear wax followed by dark wax heavier in the cracks.  It's hard to see in pics but the color is actually deeper and there is more dark from the wax showing.  I hate how pictures don't capture the true beauty.  Oh, well.

Here she is finished, hope you like it as much as I do

No 31 is not my lucky number, but it is lucky to be on this chair, hahahaha :)

After many people said they loved the chair but not the 31 I decided to change it up.  Still love it :)
