Multiple Uses for Old Chairs

How many times have you wondered what to do with an old chair – one that has a broken seat or doesn’t have the bones any longer to use as a sitting chair? Here are just a few ideas to get your creative juices going.

Always remember to put a coat of clear poly (made for outdoors if that's where it will be) over the top of a painted chair to protect the finish.

A missing seat is no problem. Lots of uses for this chair, as is.

Almost Anything Can Be a Planter

Summer time and cleaning out the garage can bring many creative items to your flower beds. It’s so easy to make an old bucket, galvanized tub, wheelbarrel or about anything else into a cut garden planter.

Just drill a hole in the base for drainage, put rocks in the bottom of the bucket so your plants don't get over watered, then you’re ready to plant. I love using old buckets for herbs as well.  Bonus - many of these old pails are easy to move around if the handle is still attached!
