Wow we have been extremely busy keeping up with shabby chic furniture and the demand is great for business
We travelled over 1.5 hours to buy this gorgeous piece of furniture which is made of solid oak and sadly had been shoved in a garage for 6 years. This ornate dining suite was hand made in Subiaco WA and I was really surprised when I saw the gorgeous detail.
We lightly sanded the table as it showed signs of surface scratches and I wanted to get any older oil off so it did not come through my white coating.
We removed all the seat pads so that the chairs could be initally hand painted as there was lots of curves and detail so I wanted to make sure I cover each piece. The seat pad were spring based and the fabric was in ok condition but I knew it would not go with my new look. Went to Spotlight and bought a black and white damask print and re-upholstered each chair repairing some of the strapping underneath also.
The table was all hand sanded to give it a shabby chic look the whole process from start to finish took two days to complete
Item sold within 3 days of completion
