Old Chair

My mom recently was going to get rid of this old chair that use to be a rocking chair. Someone cut the rockers off and it was unsteady on the feet and my mom didn't like it at all. Not sure how she acquired this chair but I ended up with it. I couldn't see such a great chair going to the waste. I had a perfect plan...I would sand and paint it and get my husband to make new feet for it. My husband at first was wondering where I was going to put this chair when I finished and I responded quickly, "the living room". I could tell by his reaction he was not thrilled, but I continued as planned. I had all the paint and the materials I need for the project so I started by sanding and painting the base colors. It ended up only taking me two days to fully paint it, but my goodness I was sore. I guess all the stooping got to me. When I start something I am always in a hurry to get it done. When my husband saw the nearly finished product he loved it. He suggested I add some cute bees to the painted flowers. The reasoning behind the bees is a whole another story for later. It was a nice final touch. The chair resides in our living room now!

Cute Bees...
the final touch!
