While I was walking home the other day I passed an area that is typically filled with cast-off furniture waiting to be sent to the landfill and spotted a chair with some sleek, danish style legs. Something was broken where one of the arms met the back of the chair but I thought it might be worth a closer look. I brought it up to our apartment and started to cut away the damaged vinyl on the back of the chair when I saw that there was some significant damage to the part where the arm connected. Rather than add another project to my ever-growing list I took it down next to our dumpster and went on my way. The next morning John took out the trash on our way to work, I noticed it was taking him a particularly long time to come back and I realized what had happened.... He'd seen the chair. A few seconds later he calls my name to come take a look. I told him I knew what I was coming for because I was the one that put it there. He gave it a good look and said the profile was just too charming to not try to fix it, so fix it we shall. We just can't help ourselves when it comes to furniture.
Yes, we are pathetic... yes, we are obsessed with chairs... yes, we are made for each other.
Here's the before, we're playing around with a few ideas and can't wait to get started on it this weekend!
