The day is finally here when I can show off my Louis chair makeover. I know I say "this is my favorite project" all the time but this chair is so giving me life right now.

Cleansing What Cleanses You
Hello my fabulous friends. It tis I, the weirdo that says stuff like "It tis I." I promise I haven't been drinking, just in a super silly mood right now. Must be all this water I've been drinking.

First, it took forever to remove the existing fabric because the chair had been previously reupholstered… meaning it had a thousand plus staples that had to be removed. After that came the painting and this post. Yay! Prep So before even thinking about paint or primer, the piece needs to be prepped. For the Louis chair, I started by ...
