Recent Finds April 2018
I love looking for junk. Many times when I’m bored it’s my go-to pastime. Lately, I’ve been so busy with real life and DIY projects that I haven’t had time to think about being bored. Vendors’ Village is my favorite place to shop for great bargains. While visiting my booth I did do a little…

Chair Side Table made from a Free Chair
A FREE old chair is the perfect furniture to repurpose. This chair side table is great for outdoors by my drop cloth hammock or porch swing. I gave it a quick whitewash because I didn’t want it to look too new. I did hit a few glitches and had to call in a favor from a neighbor. I still get stumped and challenged on even some easy projects.

I know you’ve already seen the table, but I wanted to share this chair makeover with you and show you that the table not only works as a console or library table, but add a chair–and you have a writing table. The writing table is perfect for a home office or a kitchen nook.

Chair Back Jewelry Display
I love old chairs, and today I have a fun and easy chair project for you. I turned an old chair back into a jewelry display. Check out these four chairs I got from a local reader last year. I’ve already used some of the legs to make a coffee table/bench. After…
Chair Back Wall Shelf
I have another repurposed chair project, a chair back wall shelf made from my $2 thrift store chair. I’ve already made a chair seat wall shelf out of this chair. Not bad to get two projects out of one $2 chair, eh?I have a lot of chairs, but even so, I couldn’t pass up this…

End of Bed Bench | made from Chairs
I’ve made several chair benches, but really only one end of bed bench out of chairs. It was years ago, and I never really liked it very much. I believe it was too long (wide). But honestly, the one I’m sharing with you today might also be too long. In addition, I painted it black,…
Project Ideas for Old Chairs
I’m a lover of chairs, chairs of all kinds! So many people toss old furniture aside when there is still so much potential for it to live a long and useful life! Even when a chair is stained, missing a seat, or at the very least just the wrong color, there is always hope.
Easy Weave Chair Seat
I found this cheap little chair last fall at a yard sale for $5.00. I had an idea of what I wanted to do with it, but it didn’t work out. Not all projects involve a saw and drill. So, I decided I wanted an easy fix. I love using drop cloth for projects, so…
