Today's post is a continued series of furniture flips that were done by YOU guys! Last year we held a contest looking for 10 furniture pieces to feature on our website, and we loved this patio chair redo. This project was done by Mitch and Melissa Haynie from American as Texas. They picked up these two old patio chairs that had definitely seen better days. They were being held together by tape and had no seat cushions. Many people would have discounted them as trash and not messed with them, but like a true picker, Mitch and Melissa saw life

Doesn't everyone have a stack of ties in fall and halloween colors? I've been collecting orange/fall colored ties and purple ones for about a year now. It's actually harder than you think to find these colors..IMAGINE THAT..men who don't want to wear purple and orange ties. Hee Hee I guess it's not a very common color and most of the ties I found that color are vintage ties and are REALLY cool and some even wool....even cooler(nice textures silks and wools)! The chair I picked up at George's...one of my favorite places!! I added batting and covered the chair in an orange color in case any of the ties happen to show through. Then I started weaving the ties. I just get done weaving and my son is laughing and says, "look a tie arm!" I just had to throw that in here because my son and I had a really good time making this chair. He was quite helpful and funny(he's my only one not in school yet)! I then trimmed all of the ties off and had a beautiful tie chair ready to take pictures. The pictures inside weren't going so well so I took my chair out front to get some better lighting at this time of day. I love the striated detail in the chair and didn't have to change a thing(I guess it happens once to everyone...finally a chair I didn't have to paint). I loved the weaving but on the back(it is narrower than the front) I had to go to the outside with the last tie. It actually added a cute detail going around the outside of the chair leg. Aren't all those tie colors just yummy? I L-O-V-E love them!! I love that I can use this chair for Halloween and clear through Thanksgiving. Wouldn't it just be SO cute with stack of pumpkins or to have pumpkins sitting on the floor around it and have a really cute place for people to take on and off their shoes at the front door. I can just imagine!!! This project was so fun and didn't take long(as long as you don't count the year it took to gather all the ties in these cool colors and the fact that I didn't have to paint the chair) it was a cinch!! Yes, another fall project off my list and just about twenty more to go!! I have a lot of projects rolling around in my head and I really need to get them out before they disappear. Poof!! I really should write them down, anyways.....enjoy my little project for the day! Bring on Fall!!

I've been on the look out for seating options that I could use in our new screened-in-porch. I mentioned the Habitat for Humanity Restore before. I may have a small obsession because I peruse through the Restore on a nearly weekly basis at this point. You never know what you will find and when the price is right, one can find some great deals. For example, I picked up a pair of vintage metal fold-able chairs for $15. These late 1950's vintage gold tone metal folding chairs are sturdy and still have plenty of life left in them. 1950's Vintage Chair One advantage to older constructed chairs is their simplicity. The vintage chairs are really simple to take apart. I gave them a good scrub including the vinyl seat material, which are still in decent condition. Because I planned to use these chairs outdoors, I coated them with UV-Resistant, non-yellowing Rustoleum. I gave the frames two coats of Rustoleum and also coated that chain linked table you see in the background. I found that little chain table on sale at Home Goods. I switched out the seat cushion batting with a polyester batting which is mildew resistant. I found the polyester outdoor fabric on sale at Joann's online. I decided to keep the original vinyl material as an extra layer of water resistance. I added the outdoor fabric over top. Here is the final product. The pair of chairs is a small but good start to my future seating and dining areas on our new porch. Pair of 1950's Vintage Chairs Daphne likes the chairs too
