Before... In Progress... After!




Before: I found this chair in the discard pile at our church and took it home. If you look closely at the first picture you'll see that it is very dirty and needs a good sanding and re-staining. D sanded the chair outside (middle pic) and applied two coats of beautiful stain to match the assemble-it-yourself desk we are using for the Emperor's homeschool. Now we have a beautiful, sturdy chair for the cost of some steel wool and stain. Thanks, D!! Great job, isn't it?

    Nice job!
    I just love old chairs, I have about 5 different ones. The older ones seem to be so much sturdier.
