Ugly Chair

Yes, this chair is homely, BUT it cost me just $6 at the Goodwill AND it has potential.



I had gone to Goodwill to donate some clothes from my long-weekend closet-cleaning project. Since I was there and was actually planning on looking for a chair somewhat like this at an estate sale sometime, I decided to sniff around at the Goodwill store. I was giving Ugly Chair a good looking over, wondering if I had the skills necessary to make it Pretty Chair, and ol' boy who looked to be in Goodwill's employ kept walking around. I asked him if he knew anything about this project I was considering.

"No," he replied, jerking his head toward the back of the store, "But Darnell does."

"Is it easy?" I continued.

"Well," he said, "Darnell makes it look easy."

It was clear whom I needed to speak to. A few minutes later, Darnell was giving me a class on how to make Ugly Chair into Pretty Chair.

Will keep you posted.
