A pair of French elegant chairs with a kick

Don't you hate it when you have the vision of a piece of furniture but can't find it anywhere? It just must not exist !! Let me introduce you to the vision that was keeping me up at night...

We were looking for a set of contemporary french provincial chairs but could only find them with traditional fabrics like the one you see below.

BORING..........

OK so we purchased them!

Now let the makeover begin....

We stripped them and of their boring dress and painted them a metallic silver.

Is it cold in here?

We found this amazing croc embossed silver and chocolate

brown metallic vinyl fabric

Love....

A helpful tip....When removing existing fabric on your project always save your original fabric. This is beneficial for tracing your pattern for reupholstering your furniture. It eliminates guess work.

Here is my vision brought to life.

We added over 400 silver studs for that special bling.

Baby got back!!

I love our new dining chairs!!!

French Provincial Furniture

French Provincial Makeover

Have you ever seen something average and knew it could be better. Well, when I saw this desk, I saw more then just a plain , white average desk.

Who wants to be average anyways?

We started by cleaning and prepping. Starting with a clean surface insures a long lasting durable finish. We sprayed the entire desk black as well as the inside and outside of the drawers. This gives it a more professional look. After which we top coated it with a high-sheen water based poly-acrylic. Then we used a bronze metallic paint and cut it with a cream glaze medium which was brushed on and then wiped off with fine cheese cloth.

And Wallah!!!!

Ladies.... You know when you go to the beauty counter and ask for the

"Smokey eye" look??? We've all tried it at some time and come home looking like raccoons.

Well, Here is my rendition of the " smokey look" It's sultry, mysterious, it's sexy!

Tidewater Mist

This is a great look that was develop by the a talented instructor here is Kansas City. Training is very important in this industry. We spend so much time in the field that we forget the world moves forward with new trends, treatments and fashionable looks. The center application is an Italian style ornamentation provided by a local company that produces thousands of designs for trim, frames and more. This ornamentation can be applied by steaming it, which activates the adhesion proprieties. Take a look at our website: http://www.kcfuaxdesign.com/ under the furniture section.
