D and I go on nightly walks around the neighborhood and on a recent Sunday we found this chair out in someone's trash. At D's camp, the important guys of the summer sit at the "Yellow Table". A wooden table and set of chairs painted bright yellow that only their special selves can sit in for each meal all summer long. When we saw the chair out at the curb, it instantly reminded us of a yellow table chair so we decided a DIY project was in order.
The chair was sort of wobbly when we found it, so we took it apart and glued it all back together. Then we picked up some yellow paint and primer and given the chair was previously black it took a lot of sanding and quite a few coats of primer and paint.
It nearly killed me not being able to finish the product in a matter of a few hours, but it's been fun to work at it over the past week together and we're both in love with our very own, bright "yellow table chair". I'm hoping it will help D make it through his first summer away from camp.
