I sanded and primed her up, then painted her in the most serene and happy soft smoky blue grey. It turned out great. But what I am most excited about is the seat! I recovered it in fabric from the Swanky Swell hand screen-printed collection in a pretty robin's egg blue. Watch for a tutuorial on easy chair recovering in the next week or so!
So what do you think friends? Do you love it as much as I do?? I may have a hard time letting go of this one...

ReplyDeleteHey Lenore, I have the exact same chair and I was about to go at it when I started reading about the potential for lead poisoning. I'm new to this and now I'm totally freaked out and I'm afraid to sand it. You seem to restore a lot of furniture...is sanding off lead-based paint a concern for you? Help! :)
ReplyDeleteHey there, sorry I couldn't reply to you directly but it's a no-reply email. I guess that hasn't really been an issue for me. Or I've been oblivious to it :) Often times, I don't sand through to the bare wood, I just do a light sanding to scuff it up so it takes the new paint. This was not painted before - it just had clear finish, so no lead paint. Then I primed it fully with water-based, then painted and water-based finish. So if you're concerned, I would shy away from sanding painted pieces, wear a mask when you do and make sure it's sealed up tight with the new primer, paint and finish. Good luck!
DeleteWhat a wonderful job you did...the chair looks amazing! I recently bought a harp back chair at a local thrift shop which I am refinishing for my niece. The color combination is great.
