"Atlanta's Golden Chairs" Find a Home

I gave these chairs a new look last year.  
I collaged the seat area using Atlanta Journal clippings and mod podge. I tried selling these chairs at a barn
sale and on Craig's List but no luck.

I volunteer at furniturebank.org. (a non-profit organization that takes in household donations , and helps families 
transitioning out of homelessness.) 
They were having a "Chairish" fundraiser. So I named the chairs "Atlanta's golden chairs" and put them in the auction! 
(this was a great feeling to know my chairs helped in a small           way, raise money for a great cause)

Hi ! I have been wanting to start a blog for a while to feature some of my own work.  This blog restoredrestyled is under the umbrella of thelittleredbarnnorcross.blogspot.com.   The little red barn features many different artist that participate in
our bi-annual artist sale.
So here is my first blog entry.


Here is a dresser that I just finished.  It was a lot of fun and inspired by Pinterest projects.   Are you trying to figure out what is on the top?  It is leather belts.  I have glued them to the top, and trimmed with a straight edge. I Love the way it turned out.
