Upcycled chairs make a great corner bench

Today, we have a special guest, Betty. Betty doesn’t have a blog, but she sure made an awesome bench with upcycled chairs, and I knew you would want to see it!
I found these 4 chairs on the side of the road. They were suppose to have white cushions but were black from wear and tear. I had no idea what I was gonna do with them, but I knew that the cushions had to come off.
So after deconstructing the upcycled chairs I realized that the sides fit perfect next to each other and also made a great curve.
Upcycled chairs make an awesome corner bench!
After replacing the front wooden parts to the 2 end chairs, that gave me a base to attach the wooden slats for the seat. The upcycled chairs corner bench came together very quickly after that. I know its one of a kind and I will probably never come across another set of chairs that will fit so nicely together as to form the curve that these upcycled chairs did.
So this is the end result.
I just started a facebook page called Redo’s Thank you again Gail for being such an inspiration, I think it’s awesome that you can work with all the tools necessary to get your projects done. And because of you I have mustered up the courage to pick up tools myself. I still need a hand from my hubby occasionally but I am no longer afraid to try them alone.
Happy Repurposing

Oh my! Do y’all love this bench made from upcycled chairs as much as I do? Betty doesn’t have a blog, but she does have a new facebook page. If you are on facebook, hop over and check out Redo’s. If you have a great project and would like to do a guest post, let me know. All are welcome at MRL
See one of my first, and an all-time favorite chair projects here
I love re-purposing too but I’ve never created a gem like that.
What a great project. It turned out so pretty. Thanks for sharing!
Wonderful project! Would love to know if the seats are salvaged from the original chairs?
I’m sorry I can’t answer that, I my guess would be yes. As a repurposer, I would use the original seats. ๐
thanks for stopping by, and taking the time to leave a comment.

What a clever idea! You have a good eye for repurposing things. I probably would have picked the chairs up from the trash but never would have seen such an innovative idea.
That is so neat Gail! I would have never thought of something like this. Pinning:)
See, it’s this kind of stuff that is pure genius! I love the way the slats on the seat line up so well with the posts of the chairs. This is a really interesting unique one-of-a-kind piece that would be really hard to replicate. Brilliant!
