Painted - and waiting

Another day and more progress.  Since the terrible weight of the aneurysm is off our shoulders we seem to be almost skipping through the day ("skipping" is an exaggeration, of course).

Below are pics of the furniture with the final coat of paint (Sherwin Williams - Pro Classic - Samovar Silver).  It went on like "butta" ("butter" for those of you who do not speak like a Bostonian).

Now a pic of the hardware with the first base coat.  They will be a nickel color when finished.

If it stays dry today we will be able to finish it all off and deliver tomorrow.  We are pleased with the results and hope that Mary will be also.

Painted White - Part 2

Finally figured out the camera situation.  See the unfinished chair peeking out on the right side?  Tomorrow, I promise.

There is a door that covers the square hole in the front.  I intend to base coat with gray chalk paint and second coat with white chalk paint.  It will then be distressed - sanded down in some places to reveal the gray color - and waxed with dark wax on some of the edges to give a more aged appearance.  The entire piece will then be finished with light wax.  I am looking forward to the finished piece.  What I love - painted furniture!!
