Rescued From the Trash
Can you believe what people throw away? Completely sound, functioning furniture just in need of a little tlc! Several years ago when we lived in Florida, I found two chairs waiting in a trash pile for pick up one day. It was my very first 'dumpster dive'. I was so excited, I had to remind myself to breathe!! I hopped out, loaded them up and raced home. Eager to begin work on them, I pulled them out for closer inspection. They were GROSS. Bad paint job with bad paint. Lots of drips and globs. And sticky. And the seat cushions? Eeeek! Someone had taken a can of lime green spray paint to the old shiny damask fabric, rather than recover them. Ok, I was starting to understand why they were in the trash :)
