euripidesralph - :hello:you've dragged me out of lurkdom now too because I've just got to ask what colour (and the brand would be really helpful!) you painted the rocking chair? It's lovely I've been accumulating a few as yet unstarted projects , one of which is an ercol stylee sofa that i'd like to paint up in a similar colour to your chair. I figured the painting would be the easiest bit - i'll then have to work out how to tackle recovering the existing cushions! :think:

Thanks for the inspiration!

Hi Chaosmonkey:hello: its painted in Farrow and Ball Light blue I think its no 22, I have to admit I am a real convert to F and B , it goes on lovely. I had some left after painting some shelves - actually it goes so far half my furniture is the same colour as Hubby insisted for that price I used it up - hes regretting that now cos I have painted everything :rotfl:

I would like to make the seat padded rather than just a cushion but keep getting distracted with other projects

(glad to see another lurker emerge took me months :rotfl:)

I am a newbie on the shabby chic thread,just bought a new (old ) house that needs lots of modernisation and updating.I have posted a question on the diy board but so far yesterday no reply,can anyone answer that question for me.

I want to paint old pine wall panelling,cos it looks very dated. Do i need to seal the knotts with that silver paint stuff,or will it be ok to paint it straight awayi,as it is at least 30 years old.I have seen a particular colour of farrow and ball paint on the wall of a local interior design shop,painted over rough wall panelling and it looks fab!Very beach hut,and i cant wait to get started.

I often go to auctions and that can be a cheap source of old furniture.I buy stuff for a fiver that no one wants,very nice stuff too.
