Dumpster Diving Chair…

I love a bargain but more than that I love FREE!! One Saturday a month or so ago Mr. C and I headed to the dump to throw away some trash. While there I saw an ugly, stinky and dirty chair. So naturally I threw it in the back of my car and took it home. Of course I had to put up with Mr. C looking at me the whole way home like I was crazy. But I knew I could Febreze it, clean it, paint it and throw some fabulous fabric on it and come up with something great. And I was right!!

The dumpster dive find before the Fab-O makeover

Yuck!!

Sprayed with black satin finish spray paint

I covered the seat with an old pillow case

Cut off the excess

I then stapled the pillowcase to the seat

I chose Amy Butler Chrysanthemum in Blue  as my fabric

And here it is…all clean and purty!!

The Breakdown:

Chair- FREE

Fabric- 3.00

Paint- 2.00

Total- 5.00
