I noticed I can get a little wordy when I talk about furniture, so I'm going to keep this one short and sweet.
I grabbed this chair for $5 at a garage sale. She came complete with a broken arm (with wet wood glue...hmmm) and torn 70's upholstry. But she was sturdy and look at her back!
I can't find the before pic...or I didn't take one. Either way, if you follow me, you aren't surprised ;)
Here she is now...spray painted with semi-gloss black by Rustoleum, recovered in dropcloth and stenciled with a "B" for our last name. Of course, I had to tell that to my 5.5 year old...he thought it stood for "butt". "Because that's where you put your butt, Mom!" Haha!
I think this look would be great at a dining room table with all of the seats initialed.
Have a great weekend!

Very classic! I love it!
I love the idea of initials on each seat. Even if B does stand for butt:)
that looks fabulous, allison! the monogram is great, and the finish on the chair is sooo smooth and pretty!
sorry i have not emailed you back yet... we had a showing yesterday, one today, one tomorrow, and then dinner with friends both nights that ran late.... haven't been home much! no offers yet, but the sign went up weds and already have showings scheduled, so i am hopeful.
That is so hilarious!! Kids say the greatest things.
Love the chair! Imagine if you'd put an 'H' on it, he might have been doing headstands!
Wet wood glue ... that's too funny. Great job on the revamp.

This chair looks so good and stylish. Who wouldn't love the circle initial?
That is too cute! I guess it has to do with the circle... just the right shape for a landing pad. Love the chair - that would be a great idea to put everyone's initials on the seats. Maybe the B could also stand for "Birthday" and your celebrant could sit in it for the day? Just a thought... Thanks for sharing. Maybe someday I'll be as good at finding $5 chairs as you! ;7)
