Mellow that Yellow: Chair Before & After

A few weeks back, I posted this chair that Shayne brought me to revamp for the shop. Several of you LOVED the yellow chair, and I have to agree...in the right place, it would look amazing. However, that place is not Shayne's shop, Style Minneapolis. The shop is monochromatic and soothing..so the yellow had to go!

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!

    I loved the yellow too, but I can see how it has a more classic look now!

    This is just what the doctor ordered, it turned out magnificent! This project would be perfect for our linky party featuring "Transformations" called Repurpose-Remodel-Reveal, I know our readers would love to see it too! (It starts tomorrow- Friday, March 16th 2012 at 7:00 am and reoccures every 1st and 3rd Friday)
