Two Chairs are Better than One: Especially When They're Free.

So, Jose and I have been at it again, and this time this project was practically free. We actually did two projects this weekend, but I will be back later with the details of the other one. The first project we tackled was to remove an oversized chair from our living room and replace it with two chairs that we already owned.

They were just hanging out in the guest room begging to be used. However they were lacking a bit in the decorative department, since in a previous life they had been dining room chairs. So we cleaned them, took them outside, and sprayed them a nice bright white. For the seats I just reused the foam from the oversized chair and added a bit more padding to the chairs. I also had some left over fabric from making our curtains, so for now that is what I recovered them in. I am hoping to find another fabric that I like more and that coordinates without matching the curtains and other patterns in the room.

 I am really happy with they way they turned out and the dynamic that it adds to the room.  The cost breakdown for these two chairs were seventeen dollars, it would have been three dollars for the spray paint but we had to buy a staple gun in order to recover the chairs.

What projects have you guys tackled lately? I would love to hear about them.
