The legs are white and top and chairs are a shiny natural oak. I've stripped and sanded the top, and actually have Dark Walnut for the top;) <br />I played around with my new random orbital sander and sanded the legs a bit. I like how it looks distressed. My plan has been to paint the chairs a blue and green and distress them( do I really have to sand ALL those little spindles!!?). I planned to spray paint them..but I realized today that if I do this the wood showing through on legs and chairs will be the light oak color, and not match the dark walnut top? <br />I was thinking I'd maybe do a dark brown primer on these before I painted them? But I like this idea better. So basically everywhere I've distressed, the natural oak will be stained the dark walnut? <br />I'm sorry this is so long- I've not seen this done. I'm off to pinterest it now but thought I'd ask!;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02357174451621606483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2157898481997514621.post-35772477041175359832014-12-13T03:03:42.022-08:002014-12-13T03:03:42.022-08:00I'm unable to find the mixing glaze in the UK,...I'm unable to find the mixing glaze in the UK, can I use a water based varnish instead?
