Learn from Me | Freecycle Deck Chair Fail

Remember how I came back

and showed you how horribly wrong

my DIY wood shimmed sunburst mirror

turned out?

All ganky and like?

Well here's another of those million year projects

that just started out sounding so good

and went so horribly wrong.

Off of Freecycle, I picked up these three chairs.

Do NOT let the photoshop skills

and rad camera angles fool you.

They were TORE up,

stained,

scratched.

In need of some loving.

First, I thought I would use the stain from our fence

to redo the wood.

Then I realized that you might have to strip off the sealant to do that.

So plan B.

I decided to paint them.

And to that, I decided to take them apart.

Which meant I would have to put them back together.

You will notice,

there are lots of "extra" pieces

laying about in my garage.

I just couldn't even deal.

And I'm a girl that LOVES her a puzzle.

Impatience is my worst enemy.

The paint started chipping off 

because I wouldn't wait

weeks for it to dry. 

I'm okay with chippy.

he (who shall not be named)

is so not okay with chair parts all over the garage.

Matter of fact, he took one look at the covers

and started to chuck my chairs into the truck for a trip to the dump.

I have plans for those covers

A little dye.

A little drop cloth leftover action from the yard sale.

Another 18 months...

I call this miserable DIY fail.

They were supposed to be done for this summer

Preferably the Boeing Classic party.

Not.
