It's raining again, and I'm sure we are going to see many of these days ahead, they do not bother me, but honestly I feel like staying in all day long... :) Summer was great, hot, long and super productive, my hunting for bargains was fun and I have to say, had some good finds, that I will continue to show you after all the necessary "love" has been offer to my pieces. :)
About two months ago, while driving down on First Avenue here in Mission, on my many time a week grocery shopping trip, I spotted a child chair out side of a thrifty store. The store was closed and there was a sign "FREE" on the wall above a bunch of furniture. I drove around the block and stopped by, why not? I know, you probably do not look to cute, grabbing dumped furniture along the road, but after a quick examination I could see the chair was in great shape, why not? Two problems now: how do I put it in my tiny Toyota Echo and my husband is at home, he'll probably will kill after he sees another project to be... oh, well, I take the risk. :)
Done! I got it in the car, the husband was "NOT' to worried about one more project around the house, (he can't see the potential) and it was in my basement now... Taking a second look at it, I realized that it was cuter than I expected to be. Jumping....
So, here she is, looking so sad!
I've used the same process as the first chair's makeover, nice and easy. Took the seat apart, light sanded and wash the entire chair with a damp cloth. After that, I started spraying painting with gold Krylon Metallic spray, which had an excellent coverage. One can was enough for two coats and still have some left. The drying time was also nice, it took about 20 minutes and it was good to go. I have stapled the new fabric on the seat and screwed it back. So, that is it! Done!
And now here she is, all looking good, in perfect condition! My daughter loves it!
