Frenchic – Stone Rosie & Love Letter both from the Lazy Range
Frenchic Furniture Wax – Clear
Buffing Cloth or Tea Towel
Using a hand held sand block, I lightly sanded back the Telephone Table to remove the original glossy finish. I then washed it down with Sugar Soap to remove any dirt and grime and allowed the piece to dry.I wanted to paint this piece in a light colour to show up the beautiful carvings in the wood so I chose the colours Stone Rosie for the main body and Love Letter for the fabric – I wanted this Telephone Table to have a lovely French, Vintage feel to her. Both of these colours are from the Frenchic Lazy Range. The Lazy Range has a Wax infusion in the paint which means you do not have to use a separate Wax to seal!The Fabric after one Coat of Love Letter – no prep required, just paint directly on!After the first coat of Stone Rosie – again just paint directly on as no primer is required with the Frenchic Range of Furniture Paint.After a Second Coat of Stone Rosie & Love Letter and because I was going from a really dark wood to a much lighter colour for this piece, I gave her a third coat.I allowed the Paint to dry & then brushed on a thin layer of Clear Wax onto the Fabric only. I left this on for 45 minutes & buffed with a tea towel. I then buffed the Stone Rosie painted wood to activate the wax infusion of the Lazy Range.I then applied some matching Gimp Trim with my Glue Gun to cover the staples in the fabric. FYI – I bought the Gimp Trim locally from Ned O’Connell Interiors in Youghal.Et voilà! My Simple, no re-upholstery required, French Vintage Inspired, Telephone Table Makeover!And here she is all styled up, taking pride of place in my Shop Window! I absolutely love bringing old unwanted pieces of furniture back to life and really adore this piece so I’m not sure if I will ever be able to let her go…!!
