I love this! Turned out great and you did an amazing job!! I have a very similar little settee that I’ve been meaning to apply this kind of technique to….must be a reason you popped up in my feed🤣 I’m planning to do mine in Annie Sloan’s ‘Amsterdam Green’. The wood trim is a dark mahogany stain now so I think this colour combo will look cool together. Thanks for the inspiration girl!! 👏🏻🫶🏻💃🏼

What kind of fabric was this sofa? Would this work for a silk sofa? Also, how is your sofa holding up now 3 years later.. a good thing to know is if it needs re-touching, or if the paint comes off on people when sitting on it. Thank you
@victorianlanefarms
16 күн бұрын
Hi! Thanks for the questions. The fabric of the antique sofa is old and has a tight weave like cotton or canvas. Silk fabric can be painted but requires a different application. The paint must be watered down and brushed on lightly. As for how the fabric has held up. It's still smooth and has that soft feel. No need to retouch as of yet. I will link a video where I share a mishap I had painting a French chair & ottoman with silky fabric. Skip to the end where I show the fabric of all my painted fabric furniture (including the antique sofa) up close. There's also a link to the proper way to paint silk fabric you may find useful in the description of that video. I hope this helps. kzitem.info/news/bejne/lYib1pOXn3t7rIosi=Vq9TyRv-dRMfFn58

I want to paint my pram white from light grey but I don’t know if it’s a good idea? I’ve painted many prams and strollers but always black or in another dark color and with amazing results. But is it possible to paint a light gray pram white? I know that the fabric is good for painting but I’m not sure if the white would cover it completely. Any advice?

If you use Annie Sloan paint it'll work to cover the grey. Here is a chair I painted with a busy design to a light grey. victorianlanefarms.com/how-to-paint-a-fabric-chair/ It turned out amazing. So, I think it'll work. The link I'm sharing is a step by step tutorial. Great question.

I'm confused. You said "half paint and half water," yet you put in 1-1/2 cups water to 3 cups paint. Did you mean put in half as much water as you have paint?

It's 1 to 1. One cup of paint added to one cup of water, for example, is what I learned from a paint store. I think I didn't add as much water. Here's a video where Annie Sloan shares how she paints upholstery : kzitem.info/news/bejne/xaWh1qiAhYWmZpg , it's very informative & has inspired me to do it different next time. Great question.

Annie Sloan paint is so forgiving. Sanding it down (lightly) and reapplying another coat, letting that dry, then sanding it again could work. Finish with sealing it with Annie Sloan's clear wax. (I sent you a link to a tufted chair tutorial in another comment) I hope this rescues your chair. Thanks for watching.
