Ίσως
να θυμάστε ότι είχα κάνει μία ανάρτηση για δύο καρέκλες που είχα
βρέι εγκαταλειμμένο στην άκρη του δρόμου που θα ήθελα να
τα ανακαινίσω. Λοιπόν, έχω ολοκληρώσει τελικά τη δουλειά και θα ήθελα να μοιραστώ μαζί σας μερικές φωτογραφίες από τη διαδικασία.
Αρχικά
σκόπευα να κρατήσω το φυσικό χρώμα του ξύλου, αλλά ερωτεύτηκα ένα
πανέμορφο χρώμα κιμωλίας Eggshell που ήξερα ότι θα ταιριάζει απόλυτα με το ύφασμα που ειχα πάρει για να της ταπετσάρω.
You may recall that I had posted about a set of chairs that I had found abandoned by the roadside which I wanted to re-upholster. Well, I have finally completed the job and I'd like to share with you some photos of the process.
I originally intended to keep the natural color of the wood but I fell in love with a gorgeous "eggshell" chalk paint that I knew would look fabulous with the damask material so I decided to paint the chairs, thus giving them a total make over.

| The deep buttoning process is done by hand and each diamond shape is
individually created to achieve the perfect alignment required. |
