Its no secret that I am perfectly willing to pick up things off the side of the road in hopes of restoring them in some fashion (I come by it naturally- my mom is the queen of finding roadside treasures). So when I was out running a summer ago (yes more than a year ago) and I found this beauty, I had to go back and get it...
Yes, thats right- an old school chair, plastic seat and all. I placed this sweet little chair on the front porch with promises that I would make it pretty real soon. And that didn't happen. The chair ended up sitting there, unloved, for well over a year. Whoops.
But with the impending arrival of Seth's family for Thanksgiving, I finally found the motivation to make this lovely actually lovely.
I started by taking the chair apart and sanding it well.
I spray painted the frame oil rubbed bronze. The light fixture on the porch is ORB, so I figured a darker frame would go better.
I spray painted the sets green.
And put it all back together...
And placed it back in its home on the porch.
Like most projects I tackle, this was insanely easy and fast. It really is embarrassing that it took me so long to finally get this done, especially because it looks SO much better. I think the chair needs a plant or something sitting on it. Hopefully it wont take me more than a year to get on that...
