Garage Sale-ing

Last weekend I went home to visit with friends, spend time with family and go to garage sales. It may sound silly to go to another town to go to garage sales, especially since I have happened upon some lovely pieces for sale in Toronto, but my bike just doesn't cut it. My main reason for going out last Saturday was to find a table and chairs for my balcony. It is a great size and I feel guilty for not using it, but without any furniture it wasn't very functional. Luckily, with Mom in tow, I was able to find two great wood laminate chairs as well as a handy rolling table for a grand total of twenty-seven dollars.

When we returned home with what I considered treasure, it was quickly pointed out that the chairs were in terrible disrepair and that I had a lot of work ahead of me. Because of this, I wanted to document a few before photos and follow up when the project is completed with another post. Unfortunately, the weather is a bit wet today so I wasn't able to take photos but I found a similar chair to wet your appetite (assuming you like the same types of furniture I do). Hopefully the project will turn out great and I will have tons of photos to show for my work. If you don't see any posts for a while, you know where I am.
