Rescued Chair

With painted furniture, each piece has a story. The time and effort that one puts into painting the piece gives life to that piece. I love looking in antique stores and seeing old pieces that have been painted and questioning where has this piece been? What is its story?

This is an example of a chair that I found at a small antique consignment store in Memphis.

First glance at the chair - I knew it had potential!

I used One Step Paint, Antiquing Glaze, Light Wax, Dark Wax, and Dust of the Ages to get the final look. All available on www.amyhowardathome.com or at one of our Retailers.

The idea behind our tag line - Rescue, Restore, Redecorate is essentially that you can give a new life to an old piece.
