Normally, on Tuesdays or Wednesdays, Jack and I have a mom son date to our 3 favorite thrift stores. We haven’t been able to go lately, so since the kids were off from school today, we decided to make it a day. Donny was off today too so he decided to tag along with us.

The biggest find I found today were 4 chairs. Do I need dining room chairs? No. But they were so comfortable and I really liked the look of them. They were also only $5 a piece. That sounded like a deal to me so I had one of the workers take them up to the front. When I paid for them, they ended up only costing $10 for all four.

Now these chairs are rusted on the base, but I knew that I could fix that. So that’s what I started on when we got home.

Here are the chairs.

They just need a little (a lot) of love.

For being 20 years old, they aren’t too bad.

I took the seat off of the base and started sanding. I was surprised how easy the rust came off.

I can’t wait to see them finished. It will definitely be a labor of love.
