A couple of weeks ago, I showed you my garage sale finds from the month of May. Lots of good stuff last month. I failed to show you this one little find because its makeover was already underway.
Ok, if you look closely, you will see that I paid $5 for this rickety, old, broken chair. The lady overseeing the sale asked me several times what I was going to do with this chair and I was so ecstatic to find one, that I actually paid full price!! What was I thinking!!??
Anyway, I did have a plan. I milked painted this chair the same color as my Bed Frame Bench and then used the Jig Saw (all by myself) to cut a board to fit on the chair. If you can believe it, I found this board in my garage with the hole already cut out; I just had to make it fit the chair. It was meant. to. be.
Now I just had to put the flower pot right down in the hole. The edges of the pot kept it from falling through the hole.
The flowers fit perfectly and will look great on my deck. Not too shabby for $5, huh??
This is super cute, great idea! I love the color you painted it too

Just lovely — I wish I had a saw to use for projects! I DO have a handy neighbor with lots of tools who will cut things for me whenever I ask though 🙂 Love the color of the chair!

I’m a crazy plant lady. I have so many plants at my house and am always looking for more or for creative ideas on how to display them. This chair is so cute!

Love it! I have a chair in my basement that is begging for this kind of makeover since it isn’t good for much else. I would love it if you would share on Tout It Tuesday. http://www.claimingourspace.com/2012/06/tout-it-tuesday-11.html
