Painted country chair

We moved house in december 2010 and this lovely chair was left here. Its solid oak so very heavy. It has lovely carvings and the best of all, it's very comfy!

I gave it a coat of Louis Blue and then a coat of Old White, waxed it, distressed it and waxed it again.

I reapholstered it with Laura Ashley's Chambray gingham fabric.

Crème de la Crème is a hobby that has turned into a small home business based in Buxton, England.
It all began as an interest to transform and "upcycle" old furniture, using light colors that uplift spaces and reflect light.

I was born and raised in Chile, where the lack of light is not particularly an issue, but since I moved to the UK in 2005 I have had big cravings for it!. White floors and light colored furniture is helping me to cope.

I'm a certified hypnotherapist, designer and visual artist, I have lots of interests and I'm always eager to learn.
Inspiration comes from many sources, including other artists, nature, other cultures, music and food among others.

I'm happily married and have a 4 year old son who keeps me very busy!.

Thanks for visiting!
