I have two of these, except mine have orange crushed velvet on the seat and back, and the rattan is under the arms (where yours are open). Boyfriend is similar to Mr. CG – he hasn't learned anything from my craftiness. I inherited mine from a Vallejo Freecycler who never found time to recover them, and I think I took her procrastination home with me at the same time!
Hi! Im so glad one of my friends sent me to your site! I am about to try your candle trcik to distress an oversized candlestick! I cant wait to post to my blog and tell them where I got your trick!! Thanks os much again!
I’m trying to paint some pine nightstands I recently bought. For some reason I can’t see the pictures on this post though! They only show up as a black square with an exclamation mark through it. Are the pictures posted elsewhere?
I love your blog. I have done several project with the help of your blog, Thank you for that. I am trying to distressed my dining chairs and I have a question. After sanding your chair do you put primer?If not do you have to completely sand off the previous paint/stain I can’t see the picture like Calli says. Thank you again for all your help.
Oh I keep forgetting to update this post, sorry! I don’t sand away all the varnish when I use a Zinsser spray primer, just scuff it up a bit with a sanding wedge to remove any debris, wipe down, and prime.
I just discovered your blog and I am absolutely in love with everything you do! You are a genious! You have opened my mind to so many potential beautiful pieces of furniture. I can’t wait to get started. Also, I love this post, could you update the pictures? They seem to be broken files. I’d love to see what the original chair looked like. Thanks so much!!
Oui, je l’aime! Non, je l’adore.
I bet Mr. CG had to eat a big-ole slice of HUMBLE PIE! That looks fantastic! Well done: You ARE centsational!
Gorgeous job–I love it! And such a sucker for that nailhead trim. It’s so pretty!

I share your love for chairs with great legs! Great job on a great looking chair.
What kind of a "pad" did you use to apply the polyurethane?
Oh this looks great! I have been looking for a chair similar to yours and haven't found it just yet.

I am painting a settee in this same style. I’d love to see these pictures to get a better idea of how to do it! You are so talented.
