My latest find at the Goodwill this week - these two chairs $5.99 each:
(This was after I recovered one of the seats already).
They are pretty good quality chairs, made for Broyhill furniture:
After some white paint and neutral fabric:
here they are in my office / library / craft room
On the "to do" list for this room:
Paint the desk white, but I think leave the top with the original finish / stain, like this one that I saw on Miss Mustard seed's blog This was a free find - picked up in front of a neighbor's house when we lived at the old house.
paint the light fixture, either white or oil rubbed bronze (like this one Miss Mustard seed did). Her blog is a great inspiration for DIY painting projects and furniture re-dos!
organize the craft / scrapbooking supplies storage. I do have a lot more things stored in my closet under the stairs, so some of this may get moved there, once I organize and get rid of some things I don't need.
Here is the current set-up that needs some de-cluttering. The white shelf on the wall was another yard sale find - $3!
I think my favorite thing in the room and maybe one of my favorite things ever is this oil painting, artist unknown.
I'm sharing this post on Metamorphosis Monday.
A great job on the chairs. They look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteYour chairs turned out beautifully and what a bargain! I have lots of stuff on my "to do" list, it never seems to get shorter!

Great job on the redos. You got some good deals.
ReplyDeleteI love the chairs! Great job. The white really updates them! Lisa
ReplyDeleteI really like the chair back shape and the caning. The desk will be lovely painted white with a wood top. Your painting is very sweet.

What a great job you did with those chairs. Just terrific and such great buys. Enjoy them now for a long time.
ReplyDeleteI'm of two minds about the desk. I could see a color on it as well but leaving the top au naturel seems just right. Thanks for stopping by my blog to see my picture wall.
