The couch and chair were really easy to paint. First I gave the whole thing a rough sand...then I painted it Brown (I used Liquitex, Basics acrylic paint) .....I pounced the brush over where the material on the couch would be to make it look like leather...
Then I painted all the trim black.
I just can't begin to tell you how much I LOVE MY NEW COUCH AND CHAIR!!!! I am so glad I took the risk and painted my 30 year old toy a new color! It just looks soooo much better than the blue did!!
And while I had the black paint out, I went ahead and painted the inside of the gourd. See how good everything is starting to look!
.....and Now , about them floors......
Until next time.........
((they need to be shiny!)) Let me see what I can go do about that.....
Until next time.........

Better than new!
Wow- Katie- the couch and chair do look like leather- they look wonderful- and the gourd looks fantastic too!! I can't wait to see more :)
Best transformation ever! From wood to leather in 1 stroke! Its really great job. Varnish for shine?
very nice! I know sometimes it's so hard to paint something - but it usually improves it and gives it a whole new look. wow, that looks like nice leather furniture now! the gourd will look great too. excellent idea!
that´s great Katie!!!! always your imagination working. What i love most is the gourd as a chimney, we have those here but I never imagine to do such a thing with it.
