Yes, I know... It's been a long time. But here's a project that I did this past spring (yes! I know, it's 6 months late.) But now they are chairs in my dining room and they look so cute and great! Except, there is only 3...so far that's all that I have been able to find, so every day while I am walking around, I keep my eyes out for a lone chair by a dumpster. :)When you don't have a car and don't speak the language*, and there isn't a Target around, sometimes I'm at a loss of where to find things... But then I found Home Depot. Okay, so someone took me there, and it's not called Home Depot, but I walked in and I'm pretty sure bells and choirs started singing. I found a happy spot! It was even orange like Home Depot. So many possibilities! So I got some grey enamel paint, sanded the chairs a little, took off the old covers, bought a camping mat**, cut up my tablecloth that I used as a table runner for my desk in the office, staplestaplestaple and whaalaa! Cute little chairs.
I hope you all are doing well, and since the Christmas season is now officially upon us, I can't wait to see what everyone is making!
*uh, I live in Lithuania...and I found all those chairs by dumpsters...
**I didn't know where I could find padding/foam, and the camping mat was so cheap and just the right width. It has the same function...to provide a small amount of comfort from a hard surface...
