The Chair Planter
My wonderful mother-in-law gave my husband and I a set of fabulous dining room chairs that had been collecting dust in her attic. To me these are special because A: they were from my husband's parents, and B: they are so individually unique.
But, alas, they can no longer do the job they were intended to do. Well, I guess I could have them re-caned, but I decided not to go down that road. I actually replaced some of the broken seats with wood inserts and used chair pads over them. But the chairs themselves were started to get a little too wobbly, so they've been taking up space in my garage until I could figure out what to do with them.

And now I have. One of them has found a new role in welcoming guests to our home. I took out the seat altogether, painted it with some DIY chalk paint and of course, had to distress her. Now she sits at our side entry door, encased with a pot of petunias, my favorite summer annual.

I already have an order for another chair and another three waiting to be claimed. You can check it out in my store. This is a great way to keep a chair you love that has been showing it's age. :)
