Now if you are a Anne Sloan fan This is the ultimate find. A french style reproduction Settee. This is, lets go to the yard sale and see what they have, find. It was stained and they would not come off...So lets paint it....with Anne Sloan Old White.
A lot of work but it will be a show stopper....
First coat was watered down an put on wet fabric.....
The stains still bled through...and a couple of more coat of ASCP two diluted 2 full strength..it still bled through.
The fix was one I will resort to first when I have fabric of this nice a quality with this heavy of a stain....Rustoleum Maxx primer for plastics. Worked like a charm...and you cannot tell that it is under the paint...wish I had used it first..it would have saved a lot of paint....and cash...
She is finished with her distressing and I will say wow! Now this was not an easy Job! it took 80-100 woman hours. little over a can of ASCP and a lot of elbow grease.
I used also Anne Sloan clear wax as well...I recommend using a good quality wax brush to work it into the surface and buff well ......
Love all of the details!
Even the back is a show stopper.
Stunning! too bad I have a house full of MEN..so it is in the Window at Antiques and Fine Consignments of Camden.
Will I do this again....Heck yes...However I do not think I will ever find another Settee like this again....
Sharing with....
