black laquer spray paint...
the latest victim object:
a new tabletop with only a couple of layers of primer coat <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/m0us33/black_laquer/table_top.jpg"> that will go atop these table legs from a wonderful old chippendale table my mom basically mutilated 3 decades ago... just for the sake of being able to put a tablecloth & cheap glass top over. tsk <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/m0us33/black_laquer/table_legs.jpg"> the black laquer craze all began with this 19" diameter clock... <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/m0us33/black_laquer/big_clock.jpg"> it was a dark walnut color with a gold trim band like a filet. that was not going to work with my new decorating scheme. enter black laquer spray paint! then i did this old antique dining chair that i bought 15 yrs ago for $12. <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/m0us33/black_laquer/chair.jpg"> previously it look like this... <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/m0us33/humhum/chair.jpg"> i still need to hit the fabric store & find something wonderful to re-cover the seat with. i've done a few picture frames. <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/m0us33/black_laquer/chalk_pastel.jpg"> that's an old chalk pastel sketch of my first 3 furry children. [h] i moved on to wicker next. here's a candy basket & a magazine rack, which were both just raw wicker prior to spraying. <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/m0us33/black_laquer/candy_basket.jpg"> <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/m0us33/black_laquer/magazine_rack.jpg"> not the best photos, but hopefully you can get the general idea. i don't want to part with a few of my basically worthless to anyone but me items, but i wanted to somehow make them all tie together & mesh with the newer more comtempory look i am reaching for (albeit somewhat eclectic). we'll see how it goes!
