1880's Chair transformation

I got this great farm chair that is from the 1880's off kijiji a few weeks ago. I loved the petina in it but I wanted to make it fit my guest room which is a total shabby chic feel to it.

I wanted to make it more a country grey look and distress it completely to bring back a lot of the dark wood grains. Here is the result....The only thing I need to do is to put some dark wax on it to make it really pop but I have my can at a friends house so I need to wait a bit.

You can see all the design popping through the grey. I love this and once the dark wax is put on...boy it will look amazing.
