Furniture Rehab

Well folks, turns out my love of thriftiness does not just apply to clothes. Nick and I decided to check out one of our favorite thrift stores for some furniture.  We wanted to find a bedside table we could fix up. No luck there but we wound up taking home 3 chairs! First we found these two guys:

These were in great condition and for $15 each, how could we pass them up? They just needed a little makeover; some sanding and a few coats of paint did the trick!
Below is a shot of the original paint color on the left and the new paint color on the right. Love a little Bird's Egg blue :)

Doesn't the chair on the right look brighter and more modern? I think so :)

Our third chair is my favorite. I fell in love with this one. Yes, you have to look beyond it's facade and it'll require more of an extreme makeover. Here she is:

We took this chair for an estimate to get repaired and reupholstered. It's not exactly cheap to do all that, man I need to learn how to reupholster on my own! We're still trying to decide on a fabric, below is a "dream fabric," because white is just not gonna work with 2 adorable cats running around.

I'll keep you posted on the yellow chair, we're thinking of doing a charcoal gray...

I couldn't just mention our kitties without including a picture of them now could I?
