Refinishing Grandma's Chair

I knew the chair had potential. It was going to be tossed in the trash but all it needed was a little attention. The chair was throwing out a very 70s vibe but the green cushions matched my house, so I had to at least try. Here is what the chair looked like before...



Brent took the chair apart, (I nearly freaked out when I saw it in pieces in the garage), sanded it down and painted it black. My small contribution was cleaning the cushions. Here is how it turned out...



Now I have Grandma & Grandpa's chair in my family room, it's just a little piece to remember them by.

Congrats

Time for another card swap! The theme for the KSL swap was congratulations or graduation. I needed a simple but cute design. I found the paper and flower embellishments at Heartfelt Creations. The stamp is from Stampin' Up! I used a different flower embellishment on each card.
