Above was my muse (source, unknown) and below is the finished sofa. It is  a settee that is a smaller size and style than a full size sofa.

Maybe I’m stating the obvious, but in a project like this you’d want to paint the wood first.

Next I decided to spray on my favorite spray paint to make life easier. The color that I used is Heirloom White which has an antique look with no further waxing.

After cleaning with a cotton rag I applied Miss Mustard Seed Antiquing Wax and used an old soft stencil brush that was laying around and then buffed it with an old t~shirt.

Next it was time to upholster and we brought the frame into the kitchen/dining area to work in the best light of the house.
