Trash to Treasure

May 26, 2011

A few weeks ago while on a walk with Sterling, I found this baby discarded on the side of the road.


It was pretty ugly and the wood was spilt and broken on one side, but I am a sucker for a chair makeover! I promptly got my car and picked her up for a make-over!

The first step was I had to glue the wood that had spilt. That was pretty easy with some wood glue and a clamp (no pictures because my dad may have done this step for me).

Next a few coats of white gloss spray paint and she was looking good as new. My little helper snuck into this picture:)

I then headed to GDC Home, my favorite place to find fabric. I knew I wanted a navy geometric pattern to go with my navy monogrammed duvet in our guest bedroom.

Here is the finished chair! A real beauty I must say!

This makeover cost less than $20. It was super easy. Just don’t go calling me a trash collector because I picked her up on the side of the road! The chair is now proudly sitting in our guest bedroom!
