Office chair

Laura said that "Luckily we inherited a much nicer office chair so this one is just back-up, not really necessary.  I figured since it was free and is spare I could play around with it." And she did just that, we wonder is she was surprised with the outcome as we were ! Awesome job Laura! She just how she did it at her place laura thoughts

 

Recycled Phone Book

When we first got word of this project we were quite intrigued. What could someone possible recycle a Phone book into? Other than using it as a stool, a car booster seat, or a fire starter we could think of no other use. Leave it up to the awesomely creative people at chica and jo to make a fun and useful project that anyone can do. We can't wait to try it ourselves! Any one else have a re-use for old phone books? Be sure to send it in!

 

Second Chance Window

Christina salvaged this old window she got at a yard sale for only $2. Even though her husband told her "You have never brought anything more disgusting into our house" She couldn't pass up the offer. Just look what a little TLC can do and then see more of the process at christina's adventures

Phone Chair

Andy writes " Here she is in her sad sorry state, even a little more worse for the wear after our flood last march than when I originally dragged her home from the side of the road a year or so ago.  But I LOVED her shape, and knew she had potential."

 

"Some new fabric, a little makeover all around, and I am in LOVE with this seat now. "

Ice Chest

Jessica worked her magic on this old ice chest for a friend. she says "Here is the ice chest when I got it. Covered in paint, it was solid oak, so the plan was to strip it down. Normally I paint things or refinish them, this one was the reverse. A furniture rewind, a blast to the past to get back to the real wood. Any boy it took forever!"
