I gave it 2 coats of gray primer followed by a lot of dry brushing white. I then glazed with a mixture of water and walnut water based stain. She had the cushion reupholstered in a gorgeous tone on tone damask fabric, and now it will fit in the shop beautifully!
And because I'm in a goofy mood, me trying to take a picture of a mirror I re-did, but instead of focusing on the mirror, it focused on my Nicole Ritchie hands :S
Enjoy your evening!
