Meet Camelia!
Here she was in her "before" state,
but as you can see she has a lot of potential!
First, she was primed (with Zinsser Bin), then a new coat of paint.
I also added a piece of anaglypta to the center back for a little interest.
Time to distress!
I use an orbital sander on the edges.
You can see the layers of paint, which I love.
After all the distressing is done, I go over all the edges with Howard's Beeswax.
It nourishes the raw wood and brings out the grain giving it a more finished look.
I added foam and batting to the seat and
covered it with this pretty Laura Ashley fabric.
I also made a pillow to match...
...and a table runner with a ruffle, I love ruffles...ahh!
The perfect accent piece!
She is for sale! Check out "Shop at Rustique" for details!

Looks like a great little shop! Too bad you're so far away. I love visiting your style of shops for merchandising ideas in my own. Or, just to soak up the beautiful surroundings.
