Truly.  It's unbelievably beautiful.

It's made out of SOLID Maple and Pecan woods.  Put together so beautifully solid.  The joinery is artistic.  This is my first Henredon set, and I almost kept it.  

But I could see exactly how I wanted to paint it, so.....I did.

I started with a Pure White Old Ochre Chalk Paint® custom blend.

Then I painted Louise Blue on top, quickly wiping off with a cloth. (It's hard to see the blue in the picture)

After clear and dark wax and a light sanding, I highlighted the curves with gilding wax.

Next, I painted the upholstery.

Intrigued?
