Random thoughts, inspiration and a peek behind the curtain of a working art and design studio. Serving Tasty Art & Design Since 2004!
Pouring down rain in Dallas today, which has been very welcome. Spent better part of the day in the studio, enjoying the cool air and work time. Though I still have some studio business to finish up, thought I’d take some ‘me’ time to work on my chair refinishing project.
Picked up this decent wood chair from a thrift shop earlier in the summer for around $7.00. Disassembled it, sanded it down and getting ready to apply some new stain to is, as well as a new seat cover. Looking for some material that is kinda hip and modern, something with a neat-o 1950s flair. The stain will be a kind of country apple red or thereabouts.
This is my first go-round at refinishing furniture. So far, so good. If I like how this turns out I may try to tackle a full-on chair reupholster project. Will post pics once this first chair is complete…
