This chair is an old telephone chair that I found at a garage sale. Sorry, but I failed you by not taking a picture of the before chair. But, I can give you a visual...it was smaller than a regular chair but larger than a child's chair. It was brown wood with an angled seat that was covered in horrible worn material and the wood seat was broken in two. Sounds real pretty, huh? Well, I picked up this ugly duckling knowing that I could make it into some kind of beauty. First off to hubby. He made sure that it was sound and glued the seat back together. He then cut the seat straight and gave it a new router-ed edge.I painted it white. Then as I was in a completely different frame of mind with what to do with it, I remembered that I love subway art and thought that this piece would be perfect for it. And so easy. I used vinyl lettering and just laid them on the seat. I painted the seat black, added touches of black and white check on the legs and back. Then when it was dry, I removed the vinyl lettering. A couple coats of sealer and now it's ready for someone elses home, since I haven't any room for it here. Terry
