A CLOSER LOOK // DIY THRIFT STORE CHAIR UPDATE

I'm back with another quick DIY project from my $100 DIY office update!

I scored this fun, retro chair at a thrift store for $7, and was pretty excited about it. 



It's funny - about 15 years ago I would have thought this chair was hideous and belonged in my grandma's house, but I have turned into such a retro/vintage/post modern furniture lover over the years, and now really like this chair - much to my husband's dismay, ha.

I didn't absolutely hate the green on green, but I just knew that the chair legs needed to be gold. :)

I unscrewed the legs from the chair, taped on a trash bag to protect the cushion, grabbed my trusty metallic gold spray paint, and got to work. 

The sidewalk was begging to be painted gold - oops!!





15 minutes later I had a fun vintage gold-legged office chair. 




What kind of thrift store chair updates have you done? I wanna see the after photos!  :)

xoxo
