A Perfect Day at "Bluestone House" !!!

The Furniture Refinishing Class was a success !!!

The Ladies renamed the Workshop to the "Furniture Spa"
Take your pieces for a fresh new look !!!

Thanks Ladies !!!

 Linda is re-purposing an old bedside table into a jewelry box !!!
She would like a shabby Chic "Reflecting Pool" tone with white crackle !!!

 


Laureen is updating a chair to use in her breakfast nook !!
She has 3 more to do before "Upholstery class" on June 29 !!!

 



Removing the old upholstery
Thousands of staples !!!

Sanding a little before painting helps it to stick
Painting white chalk paint on first
adding crackle medium

first coat - grey homemade chalk paint
Looking good Laureen !!!

Waiting for paint to dry !!!



top coat - Reflecting Pool !!!!
 
 I wanted to see how well the heat gun worked ..... WOW - I am amazed !!!


Sanding a little over the crackle to add even more depth
Looking Good Linda !


 

 What a Great Day of Sunshine - Good Food - Great conversation 
and a fantastic outcome on the pieces !!!


Only 1 spot left for the "Upholstery Class"
