A makeover...story

Hi !!!!

After settling down in Bangalore, It is now time for me to re-do some of the very old rugged furniture that we had. So, to begin with, I started with this simple Chair. This was carpented by a local artisan in the year 1984 and was being used at my in-laws as a writing table chair. This is made out of pure teak wood and is painted in an off-white oil colour. Since I wanted to match it with the decor of my house, I decided to bedeck this with some colourful kundan stones .

Since my childhood days, I have always been fascinated by the different shapes, sizes and the vibrant colours of kundan stones. I have always considered this as my favourite in decorating articles. They were primarily found and used in Rajasthan. But today, most of the shops in the neighbourhood have a huge collection of kundan stones in various colours shapes and sizes.

The chair is bedecked with kundan stones to form a pattern. I then painted the rest of the portion in Artist's Gold paint.
