Tue, 23 Sep 2008 18:25:51 +0000http://katek.wordpress.com/?p=545#comment-580Thanks, everybody. I will go pick up some pre-stain conditioner before I do a sample with the stain.
PVE, you’re in my head–I’m doing dark ebony and debating either a dark grey fabric or some more striking design. Maybe if a stain sample doesn’t look good, I’ll start looking for the right shade of charcoal paint; I love that idea.
And WOW, Chairloom is very inspiring. (I recognize the style of that sketch on the first page, too!)

Tue, 23 Sep 2008 18:23:52 +0000http://katek.wordpress.com/?p=545#comment-579check out chairloom, molly has a great eye for re-vamping chairs and infusing new life. I myself think that they would look fabulous painted a dark ebony or even in a charcoal with grey flannel or a grey velvet….
they are lovely chairs.

I would suggest using a pre-stain conditioner that you put on so that the stain takes evenly to your chair. It doesn’t cost alot and helps make it less splotchy.

Tue, 23 Sep 2008 13:50:37 +0000http://katek.wordpress.com/?p=545#comment-584Staining is not so bad. I stained the small round table next to the bed in our guest room and was really happy with it. We are contemplating stripping and restaining an old dining table and chairs, but I am daunted by all the detail work in the legs and am afraid I will lose motivation fast. But you should go forward, I’m sure you will make them beautiful!
