before & after...

I finally finished decorating this old chair I
bought a few months ago!

This is basically what I did :
primed the frame using acrylic-primer,
put gold-leaf on the hole frame and then used
antiquing technique to make the gold look old,
then I varnished it using water-based-varnish.
I put a new cotton fabric over the old green velvet,
using staple gun, and finally I glued some
rose ribbon on the edges.

the old and tired chair...








I'm quite happy with the chair now, so I will
definitely use it in my home.
Looking forward to tackle more projects which
I have already bought! ;-)

Thank you for stopping by.
