It's Diy day over at Kimba's. Go check it out for all the exciting projects! I know I'll be up late tonight checking out whose idea to steal and copy!!
Some of you may remember the $5 dollar yardsale chair I found a few months back. It had pretty bones but needed some kind of POP!
Look at those beautiful spindle legs. I'm in love and for 5 bucks you can't beat it!
So the first thing I did was apply white primer to her. I know, white primer, but it's all I had. I hated it! I was so frustrated that I started scrubbing furiously with sandpaper....lo and behold...this is what you all call "distressing!" I loved it!! 
The next thing I decided was that I was too lazy to buy material if it was just going to sit on my porch and hold a flower, but with a little more thought, I thought, why not this...make it into its own flower holding thingy migger.
And after 3 months of patient (okay not so patient) waiting, this is what I have now. I think she is beautiful and I can't wait until all the flowers bloom!!! LOVE
One last before and after...
Okay, awesome idea!
ReplyDeleteI just bought two old chairs that look like the before picture. maybe I should do this same thing because that is ADORABLE!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is seriously cool!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet! You gave some dignity to that old chair--she looks great.
ReplyDeleteThat is seriously worthy of a CONGRATS! Thanks for sharing!Come check out my TRANSOFORMATION end table at DIY DAY!
ReplyDeleteI'm on my second chair like this...the first one finally rotted and I was tired of putting it back together! I even gave my SIL one of the chairs from the old set (so I still have the fourth one waiting in the wings!).
ReplyDeleteNow that is what I call creative inventive. So fun!
ReplyDeleteWOW - that chair looks fabulous - I love it! you could have so much fun changing the flowers, red for valentines, blue for boy's birthday, pink for girls, yellow for spring, autumn colors for thanksgiving, and on and on.
