cheap chairs........

Hey what do you think of my new chairs..........
on the weekend I checked out some second hand shops...........then I was told there was a second hand shop at the garbage tip so I called in there............
they had some good stuff  and some very ordinary 
BUT
Look what I found for the sewing space.....
grey and black is definitely NOT my colour for sure but hey they were a bargain at $5 each and are very solid and if I recover the bases they will look much better.......
The 5 chairs cost me less then one chair at any of the other second hand shops..........

Great find Chooky! They'll come up a treat re-covered or even just with a cushion or cover over the top.

Great bargain! So much can be done with your chairs and I'm looking forward to seeing the 'after' pics! I am guessing too that there might be a little bit of blue there!lol!
I had a lot of fun making over an old stool (in much worse condition than your chair)I spray painted the legs white and covered the seat with blue Tanya Whelan fabric....the transformation was quite amazing!

Someone's trash is your treasure as they say and it does good to seek out those places that we generally wouldn't bother about.
