The black sheep

Ugly huh? You are soooooooo shallow!

This ugly duckling suite is going to be a serious (black) swan. OK, so some damn fool has applied a layer of acrylic black paint over the frame - so what?

With a couple of days of sanding and preparation, this frame set will be ready for refinishing and we are thinking that the ebony look is actually pretty styley.

So sit back from the screen a bit, squint a little and imagine an ebony frame with grain detail just coming through, and a set of subtle squabs in a beige heavy weave fabric - plain at a distance, but highly detailed close up.

I reckon ready to go by the end of September - post a comment if you have suggestions for a different finish.
