What a very frustrating few days it has been in my blogging world! My web hosting service decided to migrate my site to a larger server. It went really wrong and took them a full day to fix with my site being down the entire time. Wednesday’s post was lost in the process and many never had a chance to read it before it disappeared. Thank you to all who emailed and got in touch to let me know of the issues. I really appreciate it! Technology – how I love and hate it at the same time 🙂
From Wednesday, here are the pics of the chair as well as my Quick Tip Tutorial of the Week – How to Apply French Gold Gilding Wax by Cire a Dorer.

Today is Friday and it is LINK PARTY time! I’ll be back later!
Beautiful job!! Thank you so much for the tutorial!
Bless you,
Helen
Thanks, Helen! Glad you enjoyed it!
All I can say is WOW!
Thank you so much!
Suzanne, I love your work and thank you for taking the time to document and post tutorials for our benefit. May I ask, why do you not remove the upholstery before you refinish the chairs? I would think the possibility of damage when being reupholstered would be lessened if the old was removed first.
Hi Deb – she is having the chairs reupholstered so I could go to town and splatter away 🙂
Do you have to apply a sealing coat after the gold gilding wax since people will be sitting on the chair?
Not really as it is a wax and acts like a sealer in itself. I applied a clear coat sealer over the dining room chairs to give them a really good strong sealer and this was done on top of the gold. However, if you are adding it on a dresser, etc. you really don’t need to.
Wow, thank you for the speedy reply. You are really on top of things. I’ve never gotten such a quick reply. Have a great day.
You are welcome! I am actually the least on top of it person lol so this was awesome to hear!
