Ribbon back chairs...custom job

So I had a client bring me the most beautiful ribbon back chairs. They were old to say the least...you know, the "awesome" kind of old with key screws and a routing job that furniture nowa days just doesn't have! Gorgeous!

But they lacked a little something. A little something that I was able to provide them...and that was a makeover. I painted them a beautiful shade of white with slight gray undertones and distressed the heck out of them! Shabby, shabby...my favorite! Then I sanded them and waxed them giving them a super smooth finish that will survive life with a family of small kiddos. We also reupholstered them in a fabric that she brought to me that will match her brand new dining room.

They turned out so pretty...have a look ~Kell
