My "Free" Crusty Chippy Old Chair

I think I lucked out today...I do, anyway!

So, I was out and about, today, looking for some vintage, wire, desk baskets. I want some for a new, primitive cupboard that I am working on. And, although I didn't find what I set out for, I did "score" with my Free, Crusty, Chippy, Old Chair!

  

 Now, for sure, that wonderful (NOT) top layer of crusty, chippy, old paint is yucky, old, lead paint. And that's not good for indoor use or even sitting on... it's flaky finish just gets all over your clothes.

Chippy, crusty, peeling, flaky old chair.

  But, it could still be used to display a beautiful plant on a farmhouse porch...which, sadly, I do not have!

See...it just doesn't fit right, here :(

It looks wonderful displaying my herbs!

  I was thinking of taking the time to gently sand it off the wood frame and pick it off the woven seat. But, there is really not enough left of the original, green paint to make it worth the effort....don't you agree?

And so, that's how off to the shop it will go. A fair price is next to determine...what would you say it should be priced at?

Gotta get started on my cupboard project, then I'll be back with it's unveiling in my next post!

Til then...

Love, Hugs & Kisses,
