...And here is my first find...
I was sure that this little chair could be totally cute with a little TLC...
I started by gently sanding it down before beginning to paint...
....I used tester pots of paints that I already had in the house and followed up with a little *distressing* and then 2 coats of clear varnish...It took about 4 hours in total and I made dinner and put the kids to bed simultaneously!
And here i the end result....
This chair cost me....NOTHING! And I couldn't be happier with the outcome! I'm very proud of my chair from the dump... now I just need to find a desk to go with it...hmmmm....

Well done, it looks great!
Found you via SITS, which is fabulous, because otherwise I wouldn't have gotten my daily dose of that fabulous color. Seriously, my favorite.
Congratulations on acquiring such a great piece for zero money!

I LOVE YOURS!
YAY you I'm such a skip diver myself, some of my favourite things were off the side of the road etc - best feeling ever!
You've done a great job! Work from home India
Love it! I found a similar chair curbside and felt so silly shoving it into my car - but totally gleeful when I got it home and fixed it up! Great job!
