| Close up AFTER |
Here's the story: It was late so I just was just going to run in and out of the Good Will and lo and behold there are SIX dining room chairs for $5.99 each! Wow, I wasn't looking for chairs but I WAS looking for another project, however, I didn't know how I would manage to get all of these chairs to my house in my Toyota Camry??
I took and picture and sent them to a friend of mine and also showed them to my mon (whose house I was en route to that evening)...same response: YOU DIDN'T BUY THEM??? Come on people, I DO know how to show SOME restraint. Alas, I figured if they were there in the morning it was meant to be. So my friend met me at the GW as soon as they opened, she actually beat me there and grabbed all the tickets because they had been MARKED DOWN to $1.99 each! THEN I knew it was meant to be :-)
For the seat covers I rummaged thru hangers of draperies at another thrift store and scored WASHABLE JCP drapes for about $3/PAIR...so if you are keeping track I spent less than $20 on SIX dining room chairs. I used leftover paint to mix up my version of 'chalk paint' and after wiping down and repairing I got to work painting these babies.
It was a loooong, arduous project, only because I like to do things that I can finish that same day. Other than that it was NOT hard to do.
Keep using your imagination to transform something that may look 'ugly' at first glance!
