I bought a dresser last summer at auction and they threw these chairs in for free. My husband wanted me to throw them in the burn pile, but I just couldn't do that.
BEFORE
AFTER
They just needed a little TLC.

Wow - nice job on saving the life of the chairs:) I love old chairs, and I love it when people fix stuff up rather than throw it away!

Lisa you have done a very good job. I have dumpster furniture I am working on and it is funny men can not see what we can see until it is done. I have one of those chairs I use at my writing desk. Have had it for years. Only my seat is solid. Great make over. I can not do pictures as yet. Working on it. Lilly
