5 Dolla.....

I love thrifting now. It's a bit ridiculous. I told Ross that I wanted to start buying stuff, fixing it up and selling it and he said I have to wait until we have a house so we have room for all this "stuff". We'll see :)

We drive by a thrift shop everyday at least once and I kept seeing this chair that I loved. Obviously it was gross and old but I liked the shape and style. I explained to Ross that I see beauty in ugly things. So we bought it, after some convincing. It ended up only being 5 dollars. :) Even better.

Before:

So we went to work.

We took the cushions off and sanded the whole thing. (we bought a new sander :)

I knew I wanted it for our dining room so I picked a darker stain.

-Lowe's Ebony ($4.59)

Then Ross cut all the "nasty" fabric off and I removed all the staples.

Then we had to recover them with the new fabric.

I love a natural linen.

-Hobby Lobby ($2.99 for a yard)

The last part was to put Polyurethane on it.

-Krylon Clear Polyurethane ($4.99)

We played outside while it dried. :)

Here's the after:

Total Cost: Around $18.00 :)

I found my life's calling.

Happy Sunday!
