Our first job was to tackle the upholstery... yeah the seafoam green plastic had to go- do not pass go, do not collect $200- kind gotta go!!
Ahhh...beige brocade ?! .... um yeah, that's going to be going as well I think....
We've now moved onto the sanding stage. With our little terrace as a workarea, and having to keep the living room door open for the extension cord for our trusty Mouse sander (note to self, I've gotta get one of those babies on the wedding list as this one is for the wrong voltage), weare getting dust everywhere in the apartment, so I hope we get this sanding done quickly!
Instead of ebony stain like the chair, we are planning to enhance the colour of the maghogany wood (we'll show you how in a future post), and then protect it with a wax, vs. a varnish, so that we have greater flexibility of we do want to change things in the future.
Now the fabric to re-cover it with.... that I still need to figure out!
