This was a fun project (and it was done before I decided to have this new blog, so I don't have any before pics ...bummer!). You see, I found this old chair on the side of the road. Just sitting there with some other forlorn unwanted items, waiting for the trash man to take it away.
It didn't have the beautiful red finish you see here today. It was unpainted, cushion-less, and quite rickety. The carving on the back slats caught my eye right away—I immediately knew I had to have this chair and right where I'd put it!
I can't help but wonder sometimes, if the original owner of the chair has ever driven by and seen it in its newfound glory and regrets pitching it? Ah, well... his trash, my treasure!
