before & after: the teal Tell City chair

Wooohooo!  I finally started getting my hands dirty (or is it painty?) and dove into my first project.  It was kind of a big one too.. sanding, priming, painting, glazing, and reupholstering.  Yup, I did it all.  :)

after:

before:

I started off by lightly sanding the entire chair.

Then I gave the chair a thin coat of primer.

After the primer dried the chair was painted a beautiful teal blue color.

The entire chair was antique glazed in black.

Lastly, I reupholstered the seat in Waverly Pom Pom Play in Confetti.

Wow!  What a difference. I LOVE it! I didn't know I had all of that in me.  It's a good thing I do, because I have six other chairs waiting for me in the basement.  Back to work.  :)
