Frenchify!


Last weeks´ chair make-over: turn a real vintage chair into a fake-vintage French chair. After sanding it, I put on a coat of vintage white color and sanded some parts down again, for the good ol' look-at-me-I-am-vintage-and-hence-have-scratches-and-chipped-paint-in-random-places-look I reupholstered the cushion-seating part with off-white fabric and copied the vintage lettering, using gray fabric paint and a brush.






And, because I am currently in the vintage French label zone, I turned an empty jam jar into an empty (yes, I didn´t put any in yet), decorative French honey jar. Both vintage labels came from one of my crafty sources online, The Graphics Fairy.
