$4 Chair

A few months back I bought this chair at a thrift store for $3. UGLY...

I knew it had potential though, so I removed the seat cover.

Then I got me about $1 worth of burlap, enough to cover the seat using two layers.

Then I used lettered stencils and painted what looks like a Paris address on the burlap.  I made the address significant to us by using our last name and anniversary. (5-20-95)

Then I painted the chair with some white paint I had, roughed it up with sand paper, and wiped a black glaze over the whole thing.  Then I stapled the burlap onto the seat and screwed it back into the chair.

And there you have it.  It only took a few hours here and there for about two days...no I couldn't have done it all at one time.

Now it sits by out entryway table for guests to sit and take their shoes on and off.  I love it.  And it cost me only about $4!
