French Farmhouse Take on Dining and a Storefront Grand Opening - October 1st!

Update: The last few months have been tough. I have been plagued with health issues that shut down any work for almost a whole month. But, my "Construction Fairy", (aka Kevin Long - Husband and worker extraordinaire), has kept things afloat.

We are opening a small store in downtown Farmersville, TX. It will located in the Shops at Sugar Hill. The Tea Room is also reopening. Works is well under way to inexpensively transform the front of the shop into a French Farmhouse wonderland.

Wide-plank shiplap was installed on one of the 16'H walls. It looks gorgeous. Furniture is beginning to trickle in as we continue to paint and spruce up the place.

Today I am posting a picture of one of the dining chairs that belongs to a set we are selling at the store. I chalk painted it in a dark gray and distressed it with a white wax. The seats were stripped and recovered in a heavy Duck Cloth in Natural. Even though the pieces are actually a Chippendale style, they would look more comfortable now in an upscale French Farmhouse.

You can see the detail in the close-up photo. Here's a peek...
