Remember last week when I told you about my ‘new’ garbage find? Well, check out what a little spray paint and some cushions can do!
Now since we’re on the topic of garbage finds, I figure that I may as well tell you about this awesome mid-century modern teak chair frame that I found on the curb last summer. I couldn’t believe that someone was getting rid of it. After some new cushions, it’s the best seat in the house!
Okay, okay. One last thing. I promise! Check this out. I KNOW that it is in pretty rough condition, but with a little paint and new caning, or even an upholstered seat, I am going to have this chair in tip top shape. I’m thinking of doing it in a really bright and vibrant colour – something like a marine blue possibly.
Doesn’t it have great detail?
Now before you think that I purposely go out looking for things to pick up off of the street, I swear that I don’t! But would YOU pass them by? If so, I suggest that next time you see something curbside that seems to be in relatively good condition, just imagine what you could turn it in to with a little bit of elbow grease. I swear that I won’t tell! Happy scouring.
