We did get my new chairs picked up yesterday afternoon and now I have to decide how to finish them. I had planned on painting them all white (with ASCP) but hubby likes the wood and wants me to stain them so I'm thinking about staining them each a different color (which is how they were at the restaurant when I first saw them - grey, pink, yellow and green but they are custom colors for that restaurant so I couldn't have mine finished like that at the place they were built)
Since I don't have anything new to show today (I stitched a little last night, but not enough to rate a new pic) I went back to see what I had posted on Jan 13 in the past. These pictures are from my first Jan 13 post (2008 - I started my blog in 2007 but I didn't start it until July)
Christmas gifts from a friend
and I still have all of them! The little felt houses are still hanging in my office/sewing room and the doxie magnets are on the fridge.
Have you stained anything lately? It has been years since I used stain on anything.
Maybe my Monday I will have decided what to do with the chairs - who knows, I might have even started on them!
Have a great weekend!

Sounds like you have the same dilemna I have with my hubby on staining versus painting! I love using ASCP and have several pieces in the works.

I have never really done staining so I can't help you there. When I can't figure out exactly how to do something, I will look on YouTube to see if I can find a video tutorial. You might try that.
btw, I love your little felt houses. Those little babies took a bit of work! They're cute.
