A French Country Mahogany Dining Set
I just went back through all my pictures and I can't believe I didn't take before shots of this set. But there you have it. It was a honey color before. I painted the chairs and table base in a creamy white, then gave them a brown glaze for a rich finish, then wax. The table top was sanded, stained, and sealed. It's absolutely flawless, practically glows. I recovered the chair seats as well. This was one of my favorite sets I've worked on in a really long time. It's vintage Bassett brand too, very high quality. There's a matching china hutch that I'll do in a separate post. Happy snowy Monday!
Wow, gorgeous makeover Kate! Yes, that table top does shine beautifully. I found your blog over at the Nifty Thrifty Party and you're on my Must Follow List!

ReplyDeleteThat is the highest praise as your taste is impeccable. Can't tell you how many times I've drooled over your house and decor!
DeleteLove it. Can you share the paint product details and stain and sealer details?
ReplyDeleteThank you Cassandra! The paint is Bauhaus Buff by Amy Howard. The glaze is rust-oleum in java. The wax is johnson and johnson clear paste wax. On the table top we have minwax English Chestnut stain and six coats of minwax clear gloss poly.
