The other day I found an old rocking chair that I just had to get for my husband. I had been looking for quite a long time for the right one and this was it! Since I already had mine I wanted his to be as close looking to mine as possible. Plus I already had the stain color I was going to use on them :) Now they're both stained, in my eyes, to perfection. His is much darker mahogany than mine but every couple I have seen over the years the old man's chair was a bit darker , so they turned out great. Since this was a suprise from my husband he was completely shocked when he saw it lol. Though I wish I had taken pics before I stained them just to compare but the pics I did take look fantastic (the chairs not my photography skills lol)
You can see the difference but can you also see that my chair has that antique rustic look? Darker spots and lines make this chair so inviting. Greg's may be darker but his also has the weathered rustic look . When they finally dry I will definately be relaxing and reading one of my novels and Greg will probably fall alseep in his lol. Well, time finish my to do list. Have a good weekend everyone!
