Someone Else's Trash...

Is my treasure.
We happened upon a yard sale over the weekend where I found this pair of chairs.
For $25.
They'll look rather handsome once they are shed of their dowdy fabric and upholstered in something awesome. I'm currently thinking they need to be covered in a black and white horizontal stripe.

Etsy
Pinterest

At least that's what I'm thinking this week.

Love the idea of a black and white stripe, but the options are limitless with all the great fabrics available these days.

Great deal on those chairs - I saw all kinds of yard sales this weekend. The best stuff is snatched up at places like that. The stripes would be really nice on these chairs. Hope you had a nice weekend.

From the picture, the pair look like they are in amazing condition. It's amazing you only spent $25.00 on them! I really like the Pinterest photo, but I'm not sure what goes with your home/decor.
