A Better "Before"



Remember my Procrastinators Progress post? The one where I showed you this and asked for your help:



Well, here we are half-way into the update. I am loving the chairs painted with ORB. Why didn't I think of this in the first place?


The table is obviously still in progress. I want the checker board to be very worn looking--just visible enough to be able to play. I am going to use an almost-empty can of ORB to achieve this. More about all of this later.



I am still studying the wall and planning my course of action. I really want to hang my Christmas Quilt Cookies here...is it too soon?

By the way, here is one of my red sofas.


Again I thank you for all your help. Let me know if you think of anything else. Stay tuned for the final "After."

  14. It looks great so far! I love the black and white and the distressed look. I am really looking forward to seeing it finished. I'm following, so I don't miss it. Thanks, also, for the hot chocolate recipe. That is such a simple and yummy gift idea. Thanks for sharing.

  15. Love the chairs bronzed, does this spray paint give them a wood stained look?
