‘Relooking’
The paint on the chair had covered well, so I put a second coat on it. The first one is now ready for the upholstery. But I want to get the second one to this stage before I start upholstering it.
I also made a start on the armoire.
I started by cleaning it with some white spirit. Before getting an undercoat on. This is going to take some time, but I really enjoy bringing old pieces of furniture back to life (the French call it relooking), they are so full of character from the sights they have seen.
