I love to go yard saling and find things to repurpose...here's one of my latest finds. I can't take all the credit as it being all my idea, as I have seen these at craft fairs, but at the price they were going for, I thought, "HA! I can make this myself!!" I have another chair I am going to do in a different color for my mom....she's a flower lover just like me so I think she would love this as well...maybe as a Christmas gift for the lady who has it all already???
Oh, and on the second set of pics, for the chair I havent finished yet, interesting find....as I was taking the seat off I found that the seat had been redone, apparently in 1951, I know this because, the person had taken a newspaper from the day, folded it in half and put between the two seats! I took pics of the paper! SO COOL! (would hate to find out that this chair I have taken apart is worth $20,000.00 according to the Antiques Road Show! HAHAHA!!)
