My First Trash-to-Treasure Project

I keep forgetting to post these... Michelle inspired me to re-do some oldie goldies that have desperately needed it for years now.

These are a set of patio chairs that belonged to my grandparents. My grandmother is now 98 years old, and she had these for as long as I can remember before she went to the nursing home. I kept looking at sets in stores, thinking I really wanted some nice chairs for the deck, but I couldn't bear the thought of parting with these... They definitely needed some TLC, though...



2 cans of spray paint later (total $2.40), and some cheap cushions from Walmart:

I also have to show off this gem that I picked up for $10 at a yard sale - you can't really tell from the picture (because of the shadows from the tree overhead), but it's in PERFECT shape. And it's sooooooo comfy!
