The downside is that I didn't come from a creative family, I don't have a stash of spray paint, adhesive, primer, fabric, so anything I would re-do ends up costing me more initially. FF to yesterday. Whilst we were on a family bike ride around the neighborhood, we spotted a yard with 4 dining room chairs on the curb marked with a "FREE" sign. The chairs have outdated fabric on them, and the the wood doesn't match our table, but at least they haven't been broken, and glued back together seventyhundred times. Anyway, I had to come back, find this post, and tell you that I was inspired enough to snatch (or have my husband drive over with the van and snatch, but who cares about those details?) those chairs up, and they are now sitting in my garage waiting for their makeover (my very first DIY project!). Thank you for providing the creative boost I needed because without it, I'm sure I'd still be admiring from afar! :-)Queen Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17867545054654662913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-31289140774327492010-05-11T23:10:20.627-04:002010-05-11T23:10:20.627-04:00Cute chair!
