Emperor's Silk and English Yellow
___________________________ 

Two chairs that have a new lease of life.  The red one was bought for a song just because I loved the wood grain on the seat.  It has been in the cellar for years, waiting for me to find inspiration and a home for it. It will now be my fifth chair in the kitchen when Lucy and family visit. Painted with three coats of Annie Sloan Emperor's Silk, finished with clear wax. Two coats of wax to the seat have brought out the lovely grain.


The next chair was in my large bathroom, which is going to have a grey makeover. Paint is Annie Sloan English Yellow. The accessories will be yellow and grey. The chair will have a new cushion in yellow and grey when the right fabric comes along.
