Description:

I found this chair at an estate sale for $50 and bargained down to $15. It's super comfy.

I got this chair for free on the side of the road. The most labor intensive part of the makeover was scraping and sanding off the old finish, which had become beaded on the surface. Then i painted it and gave it 3 coats of clear lacquer.

I bought this chair at a thrift store for $2.50. I removed the old caning on the seat, which had torn. I cut along the groove where the caning had been attached with a jigsaw. I spraypainted the wooden pieces bright red. I upholstered the inside part of the seat and screwed it back together.

I had an Ikea Tullsta chair that was missing it's slipcover and legs. Instead of buying a new slipcover, I made one out of Ikea fabric and I replaced the legs with Capita legs also from Ikea. Read the whole how-to on my blog: http://www.thebargainlife.com/?p=69

This is a picture of Martin the rooster's beloved chair collection.

He's the kind of guy who can't drive past a chair on the side of the road without taking it home and fixing it up; well, sometimes fixing it up, a lot of the time they just get added to the ever growing brokeny tree forest in the garage.

Miriam the hen finds this all very vexing.
