I posted a picture of this chair on Facebook earlier this week, and it was also added to my home tour post. Im a Craigslist addict (my husband has dubbed me the junk collector) Im always checking the FREE section of course (who wouldnt). Well this is what I came across..........
photo from craigslist listing
on my front porch..cushionless (getting a cleaning) lol
After a nice cleaning
After a little merchandising....notice anything?????
Yep...I sanded and painted out the bottom frame black to match the black fireplace.
Here is my little reading corner....well magazine & catalogs corner. I got so happy about the black that I also painted the top of my little elephant table.
Sometimes you have to look deep to see the potential. If I see something I like, I grab it because I know I will find a way to use it or transform it into to something usable for me.
Did I mention that it was......FREE! Hello I got a cute chair to relax in and read my magazines (or dream of sitting and reading) for nothing, nada, niente, zilch!
