Dumpster Rescue to Pretty Treasure!!
by

(IC: homeowner)
My husband and I were out one day when I spotted this chair set out by a dumpster. I thought out loud what a shame that chair has beautiful lines!!
My husband remarked, so what do you want it ? (he was being sarcastic) I thought about what a great transformation it would make and said YES I do ! So I got out of the car and put it in my trunk..
I checked the chair out for bugs and such the brought it inside where it sat for 2 or 3 months.
I started the repairs by stripping off the old fabric
First I sanded the whole chair down, I then repaired any loose joints,
Next step was priming the chair
I painted it a beautiful Persimmons by Behr,
Next up I added new batting and foam and pretty fabric to the seat.
New Attitude!
I just love the curly arms!
And the back brace with the feather like carving!
