Bandana Chair Makeover

I’m still plowing through all the great colors in this new Powder River Organic Paint line…

Just a project re-hash……

OK….. side bar here…..I wrote that and then I thought….what exactly is a “re-hash”? Isn’t “hash” already a hash? I mean, around here hash is what I make with leftover roast beef or ham. I dice potatoes, onions, carrots, celery and leftover meat, cook it all in some broth, thicken the broth and…..hash appears. Isn’t a re-hash just the leftover hash you already made with the leftovers?

I either need to lie down or have a drink because this is like the chicken and the egg thing or how many angels can dance on the head of a pin……WAY beyond me….

Where was I……oh yeah….chairs….

Just a project REVIEW.…

I’ve used Baby Doe Pink on this nightstand…..

Buckskin on this side table….

Silverado and Turquoise on this desk/console table…

Gunpowder and Lakota White on this petite coffee table…

and now Bandana on these chairs!

Only 11 more to go! 

I don’t have a pic of them before but they were antique brown chairs. With ugly fabric seats…perfect for me!

Bandana is a coral shade which darkens up nicely with a coat of MMS Antiquing Wax.

Check out the color difference here in flourescent light vs. natural light like above!

No wonder we all look awful in public restrooms mirrors! 

I use this wax pretty exclusively because it is designed to go over paint rather than for use as a stain/wax for wood and therefore has a bit lighter application than some of the other furniture waxes on the market.

You can see the change here…

I recovered the seats with some pretty Sunbrella fabric I’ve had for awhile. I originally intended to make some pillows for the porch but I’m heading in a different direction there so I’ll use it up for some projects for the shop instead.

I decided on the Bandana color after I found the fabric. There are so many other colors in there that I can select another paint color for the next project and  I may get a whole different feel. I have a bench with a fabric insert that is on the worktable now. Maybe Prairie Grass and pick up some of that green?

I love how they turned out!

Overcast and rainy here today…perfect for garage working.

At least it’s not tornadoes like all you poor folks in the midwest! I hope things calm down out there!

Of course, hurricane season has started here…..sigh….
