I Like Yellow?

It has been radio silence on my blog for too long. I got wrapped up in projects and family and realized I am four projects behind! I have my big kitchen remodel next week AND I just had another trip to Canton, which added to my project list. I am so excited.
But first things first. My client dropped of four chairs in my garage one afternoon and said she didn't know what color to paint them. She went home, sent me a picture of her curtains and the the table she was having built. We started talking paint colors and she kept mentioning a mustard color. Mustard was not on my list of favorite colors. I do not know everything (shocker, right!) and the best things happen when I step out of my box! And I can proudly say that mustard is now one of my favorite colors.


Before....


 Three coats on the back.


The front legs have multiple coats... the back legs do not. All paints cover the same... Something I had to keep reminding myself!


She wanted me to recover the seats which I was not afraid of. What I was afraid of was the piping... But I tried anyway.  



My client picked a damask burlap, so to help the burlap hold up longer, I decided to not take off the ugly fake leather that was already on the seat. 


How they looked in my house. 


How they looked in place.  




 

I can now officially say I love yellow! Which is good because my next client wanted the same thing. Just wait. It gets better!
