Update on estate sale find

Well, what do you know, another post. And it hasn't been a year since the last one. Maybe I'm on to something. One of the things that I hope to do is complete some jobs that I start and one of those was to redo the director chair that I obtained from an estate sale. It was in the last post. Here is the picture again.


At that same estate sale, my daughter saw a brand new seat and back replacement for a chair such as this. I can only assume that it was meant to be used for this actual chair. Anyway, I decided I would paint the chair and make it look nicer than it was, then use the replacement seat and back. Here is how it turned out.


The chair really came out nice, I think. The total price ended up being about $2. This style of chair sells on the internet for around $120 so I think we made out good. I don't plan on selling it yet, but if one of my readers really likes the PINK fabric, let me know. I will make you a deal. By the way, did I mention it was PINK!
