Project

Several years ago we cleaned out my great aunt and uncle's home after he passed away and she had moved to an assisted living place. We decided to keep this really neat chair that has steps that can be pulled out and put back in. When we got it, it was rusted and I think it was a grey color. It sat in storage for a couple of years and then when we started to re-do our kitchen, we pulled it out and asked one of our church friends if he would paint it for us. He powder coats things as a side business. So we asked him to paint it red. And it has been a great addition to our kitchen.

Ever since then several people have commented on the chair and said that if we ever wanted to sell it, they would be interested. Well, back in February or so I was in Birmingham and went into a flea market/junk store. As my mom and I were leaving she saw a similar chair in the window and I decided we should find out how much it would cost. The owner sold it to me for $15. It looked pretty rough and needed a couple of screws and a paint job...but now look at it!


And I am giving it to my friend Ellis for her birthday! I can't wait because I think she is going to love it!
