First up is a shabby chic kitchen chair.
The chair got a very good scrubbing and then a second scrubbing with a sanding block to remove the stains that wouldn't wash off. Some glue and clamps were also involved. Great age crackle and wear.
Diesel, visiting granddog was hoping for some food hence the photo bomb along with the clamps.
Since I LOVE stripes the chair also 'got' stripes. One coat of Polycrylic on the seat. Back in service, but for someone else. I still have
Then there is the ex-toy tool holder hinged lidded box. The contents were long gone and so were the inside 'holders'. Looked not so great.
Cleaned, scraped, used some wood filler where needed. Sanded inside (and outside). Painted with CeCeCaldwell Simply White. Added the stripes. Off to a new home as well.
Other striped projects here: chair, tote, box, canvas sacks.
I am seeing a change in my post contents, blending a life style blogger with my life as a reseller in a collectibles mall. I have kept the two separate for the most part (at least in posts) over the years I have been blogging.
I don't sell anything from my blog so when I write about items I am planning to resell I am just sharing what I am going to do with my project in hand.
See you again on January 27th at 7:00 am

It is amazing what a lot of tender care and work can do to something. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteI love your stripes! Love your treasures! I sat in a chair like this once and fell to the floor! My brother in law was only a little perturbed:)
ReplyDeleteI like stripes, they are clean, crisp, and simple, just my style.
ReplyDeleteI love the simplicity of the stripes. Well done.
ReplyDeleteOMGosh how did you get those stripes on the strawberry tray? so nice and straight
ReplyDeleteI love the stripes, and am kicking myself for passing up an old box yesterday. Now you've got me thinking of what all I have that could use a little stripey magic.Here from the Vintage Farmhouse link party.
ReplyDeleteThe chair looks great with stripes. I need to glue some legs on my chairs, and I see the glue you have in your photo and may look for that! Thanks for linking to TTF!
ReplyDeleteI think the box is really unique with the stripe. I LOVE painted furniture and my hubby the woodworker DOES NOT.

Love the chair. It is so satisfying to fix something old and make it desirable again. I turned out great.
ReplyDeleteI like your Style. The chair and box look like a match made in heaven. I spied a turquoise box with a stripe too in the last photo. They all look wonderful now that you have transformed them.
ReplyDeleteAll those simple stripes make a big impact on the beauty of each piece. I think my favorite is the wooden toy toolbox. Diesel appears to be a great helper watching glue dry.
ReplyDeleteI love the stripes on your little chair!

Joy, I always love your projects. I am a big fan of grain sack! I bought an old box at an estate sale and was thinking I may need to do the same. Thanks for sharing with SYC.

You did a great job with this chair, it looks fantastic! I've been looking for an idea for an old single chair that I've kept and this might look great on it also. Thanks for the inspiration. So glad to have you sharing your beautiful talent with us at Wake Up Wednesday Linky Party.
