Back into it

and currently working on some bar stools for a client...the first time I have painted furniture that already belongs to someone else....so far all is going well, so not too nerve-wracking!

Here is what they looked like before:

Tidy....plain....dark....in need of something....client decided she'd like them lighter but not white or cream so we went with a colour she had already used in her home, Resene Sisal.  

Here are some work-in-progress shots:

In case you were wondering, the real estate magazine pages under the chairs are not to protect my paint drop cloth (that is well beyond help!), they are so I can spin the chair frames around as I paint them :)

I am working inside today because it is raining so hard, and really cold too.  Too cold for paint to dry properly in the garage....much more comfortable inside!
