Furniture makeover part 2




This is the second part of my furniture makeover for the Buttercup dollshouse....

The original sofa and chair were mahogany with a red fabric, the wardrobe was unpainted and the little table were brown with a hig glossy varnish....
I painted all furniture with acrylic paint (Appel Barrel Colours Twill no. 20780) and later with liquid wax wood stain..I hope this is the correct translation). It was a dark oak one. I painted all furniture 2 x with the wax.
I used the same paint for my kitchen sink.
Later I used a new fabric for the chair and the sofa....
