Trash to Treasure - rehab a chair

Okay, if I see a cool-looking chair in someone's trash on trash day, yes, I will throw it in the back of my truck. I saved this mid-century chair, in fairly good condition except for the old vinyl seat cover, from death.

I disassembled the chair back and legs and removed vinyl covering. Next, I stapled new fabric onto wood seat. Spray-painted all wood parts of the chair, let dry and reassembled. It looks great and has been given a new life.

super adorable! what do you think?

For my open studio in December, I painted several mini paintings. Here is a collection of them. Canvas sizes range from 4" x 6" to 5" x 7". I have recently been working with handmade paper for the background of each piece. I like mixed media and painting small for a change.
