~ staining the chair ~

it’s weekend, so ari and i decided to do something that we’ve been wanting to do for a few weeks: staining our IKEA chair to a different color.

we bought the wood stain about three weeks ago, but it ended up staying in our storage room. so, it’s about time.

original color is on the right, stained version is on the left.

we’re generally happy on how it look like, although we thought the color would be much lighter. but the darker stain makes the wood grain more prominent, which we like.

now that we found out that staining is easy to do, we want to do more! and more! so, we’re looking for more colors (and maybe more cheap furnitures to work on… that way, if we screw up, we don’t feel too bad).
