A few weeks ago my friends and I saw some chairs out by the garbage dumpster. Since people are constantly moving in and out of here, there is always furniture and stuff just left out for anyone. As we passed by, I thought, "those are really cute chairs.... I think I want them!"
As we were running I kept thinking about the chairs and thinking how fun they would be in our breakfast nook in our new house. So, I let my friends talk me into it and they helped me carry them home. Here's what they looked like before:
And here's how they look now:
Thank you IKEA for your wonderful selections on fabric, and home depot for the paint.
Total cost of my little project: $25
I can't wait to put them in our kitchen! I had a lot of fun with this project and now I'm ready to re-do my dressers...... I'm saving that monster project for when I have a garage. Adios, and remember, the next time you pass a dumpster, there might be something you need! :)
