Once again, Craigslist and my wonderful friend Lee have pulled through. Check out this old chair she found for FREE off of Craigslist. I don't know how she finds so many awesome things for free! Well Lee just had a baby, baby number 4. So...the carved details were just too much for her to comprehend.
She gave me the chair. Thank you Lee!
I have had it for a few months, and last week I got sick of one of us always standing up to eat or trying to share a chair because we have 4 kitchen chairs and 5 family members. I got the Valentines Itch, and decided on RED!
Just some light sanding with HEAVY GRIT sand paper to rough the chair up.
A quick spray down (2 coats) with Rustoleum in Apple Red and Voila!
I don't always spray paint, but this was fun and easy and I am so happy with the result!
Main thing, we all have a place to sit at dinner!
My kids already named it the Birthday Chair!
Cheers,
Oh. My. Goodness! This chair is so gorgeous! I love the color with the rest of the kitchen. And since it's RED, wouldn't it look good in MY kitchen too?!?!?!!!!
