Wine bottle stoppers 6 and 7

Did two in sycamore today. I know that some wiseguy would say "Why dont you make a wine bottle stopper that looks like a wine bottle?" so thats what I did. As for the other, I thought that it may be important to have some short ones so that if someone wants to put their bottle in a refrigerator, the shorter size will help.

6 MILLION DOLLAR CHAIR upholstered white chair

This post is for my dear friend Bliss.

She requested some insights into chair upholstery,

but Bliss should know she would get a bit more than what she asked for.

Below is how our chair was found.

Ladies, we can rebuild her.

We have the technology.

We have the capability to build the worlds best chair.

Our hero will be that chair.

Better than she was before.

Better,

stronger,

and more fascinating.

Okay enough of the open theme to the popular 70s show

The six million dollar man.

The toughest part to reupholstery I find is the tear down.

Its dirt and dangerous to your hands with all the old rusty nails and staples.

I use 2 manual staple guns loaded with different sized staples,

1/4 inch and 1/2 inch.

Keep in mind,

Not every piece has to be upholstered the same as the way you found it.

This chair was upholstered with a set of white quilted pillow shames found second hand,

and edged with new trim from the fabric store.

I know there are many of you out there with an upholstery project staring at you

wanting to know when you will get started. Im no different.

CLASSIC FRENCH 6 drawer dresser

Today is a simple project,

but always a fun project when using ASCP and wax.

I used bright white ASCP and clear wax,

with a gentle distressing to the curves and details.

The six drawers work great after finding the right positions for them,

and a little help from me.

It has classic provincial hardware and

fabulous solid wood cabriole legs.

Dove tailed drawers

Manufactured by Henry Link.

This chest of drawers also matches this cute single night table.
