Saved this chair from the land fill ~ $1.50 Chair Makeover!

Not sure if you know this about me but I have some pretty amazing super hero powers…. I often save item from the land fill.  Now don’t go thinking I am going to be on the next episode or Hoarders on TLC.  I just hate to see things go to waste because they are out of date.  I saved this chair from the dump a few years back.  The clear varnish on the faded wood was peeling off and it had this UGLY faded  smelly floral cover on the seat.  It was also super wobbly, and set in the TRASH pile.

I loved the lines of the chair, so I took it home with me.  I sanded it down, tightened the legs back up and gave it fresh new coat of black paint.  I wish I had taken a BEFORE photo when it was still brown because it looked awful.  It had been sitting in my garage for 2 years.  I finally got the new fabric for the cushion, cost me all of $1.50 at Hobby Lobby.  I love how it turned out!
