Chair Make Over

Found these stinking cute chairs at the DI (thrift store)

 WHAT WHAT

Shopping at Down East I found a table on clearance for $100.00.

WHAT WHAT 

The table was perfect to put the chairs around. I'm going to touch it up and fix it, but it's in storage until we move into our new home we are building.

 Found this white vinyl at Jonann's Fabric. Had a 50% coupon off a purchase!

WHAT WHAT

Recovered 8 chairs. My fingers are still aching. But they turned out really cute.

Anthropologie Creation

I was looking for cute mirrors to hang in my daughters room. I found these cute log mirrors on the Anthropologie Website. Perfect mirrors to buy, until I saw the price 2,000 dollars.

Small town connections

In Heber, we found a log yard and had them cut (chainsaw) logs into 3 inch circles. The circles were way to thick so we found a cabinet maker in town who cut down another inch to the circle log. 

NOTE *Take full log to cabinet maker. Makes better cuts and looks better. And Cabinet maker won't cut fingers off trying to cut a 3 inch log circles on machine. 

   

 *Sanded circles with a high grit sandpaper.

 The log yard worker suggested the finish spray to use. I believe it's a polyurethane that prevents yellowing.  

*DEFT clear finish spray- Satin

Sprayed logs on both sides. I spayed them 3 times on both sides letting them dry 1 hours in between spays.

 My cousin and I ran to Michaels craft store and found the mirrors to place in the middle of the circle logs. I was thinking I would have to custom cut the mirrors, but Michaels had the perfect circle mirrors for a very very low price! 

*Make sure you pick logs that will work with the mirror sizes at Michaels.

 The cabinet maker suggested a mirror glue. He picked it up for me. But this is the product I used.

 *Gunther Ultrabond Mirror Mastic 

I let the glue dry over night.
