Do you have any old chairs? Restyle them with stripes and bold color by replacing the seat with a simple plywood cutout and some chalk paint! Mark Montano shares a tutorial for doing just that on his blog! I think this is a terrific way to alter almost any thrift store chair. I would probably replace the stripes with a floral pattern, but I do love the bold colors that Mark used.
Mark says: It was seriously time to overhaul my patio chairs! They had been out in the sun and rain for 3 years and even though I love the distressed look, this was way too much. I’m sure in 2 years they’ll look totally different, but for now, I’m seriously happy that I didn’t have fork over the dough to buy another set. A little paint and plywood and I get to enjoy these for a few more years.
