This is a great way to repurpose old chairs into a triple chair bench.

Today, I am featuring a project from Rose. She’s one of those friends we all have, that we feel we know so well, even though we’ve never met IRL (in real life). Rose is a major influence and inspiration for me. She is always there for me to “bounce” ideas off of! Well, that’s the back story, on with the project. These 3 not so lovely chairs found a new home with Rose sometime last year.

This summer Rose dug the bench out and completed it! I love the color, I think it looks like stain, but it is paint. The fabric is an old slip cover that someone (dh) had gotten gum on.
I love, love, love the way this turned out. Rose, you rock!

    1. thank you! There are no copies of the directions. The details that are on this blog post are all I have. My friend Rose didn’t give me complete directions for this fabulous project.
