So, aside from me having no "before" pictures of these, I think they turned out well. LOL!
These matching chests came to me painted white, but badly abused...think tape, crayon, marker and lots of dirt. I cleaned them up, sanded them down and taped off 4 inch stripes. Using dark gray for the stripes and Jacobean stain as glaze, they now look like this:
And here is a cute little chair I recently picked up. It was a cherry color with a vinyl seat. But now it looks like this:
I hope these make up for my absence...I've got some fun makeovers coming up, so stick with me!
