Project: A 'Barrel' of 'Tubs'!!

A "Barrel of Tubs!!"

I picked up this barrel/tub chair at Goodwill 3 weeks ago because it gave me a mind full of good ideas on how to bring it back to life and it only cost $3.75! Watch this space to see it's new lease of life....



Removing the thousands of staple that had been used during manufacturing of the chair was a tedious, tiresome nightmare.





Now to put it all back together! Seat base and remainder of the chair reupholstered in a bright and fun fabric. Don't forget to mark where the legs where to screw back on.



The legs were brown with a high sheen finish and brass metal tip. I covered the brass area on each one and sanded down the brown area on each, primed and then painted white. Once done I removed the masking tape on each and reattached them to the chair.
