I found this chair on the curb during Granville Clean-Up days when residents can get rid of large items and others can go curb shopping among the piles. Getting it home the four blocks was tricky because it's pretty heavy and it doesn't fit in the car (except in the passenger seat if you leave the door hanging open...).

And it cleans up real nice after four coats of primer.

The seat was made from a cabinet door from a neighbor who is currently ripping out a kitchen back to the studs (thanks James!). The fabric is from the local Granville designer Amy Butler. I made the cushions myself, even covering leftover buttons with fabric to make the matching buttons.

Anna,
I added your comment my latest post on The Thrifty Chicks. I'd been planning on posting "Do you shop where you drop" for months. Thanks for the nudge.
Best,
Ms Shopping Golightly
Hi, Anna! I hope you don't mind that I found you when I was looking at Bill's work. The chair looks just beautiful! I was raving about it, and James said, "I made the bottom." Lo and behold, he did! You amaze me, sister. You are endlessly and wonderfully creative.
