Antique Chair Back Shelf
You know when a project works and when it
doesn't by how long it sits in the shop...
I had a chair that sat in my shop for far too long. Then it sat in
my basement which is an even bigger problem...
So I repurposed the repurposed antique chair.

| The driftwood towel bar... see it here. |
I basically cut off the back of the chair leaving the
metal "L" brackets that were on the chair.
I made a shelf then added trim to the shelf...
I repainted the shelf and the chair back white to unify the piece...
I kept one of the chair bars on the bottom and it
just happens to be perfect to hold towels!
I am loving the transformation!
If I can part with it, it will be
going back in the Homeroad Shop
and maybe it will sell faster now!
Thanks to Angie at Knick of Time
for her repurposed chair inspiration!
Please follow Homeroad by email so I can send my latest DIY tutorial straight to you!
Rinhave a deacon's bench with half a seat that I might make a shelf out of. I like this idea!
ReplyDeleteIt was an easy remake Carlene... inspired by Angie :)
Deletelove the new look of your chair Susan. I bet it does sell fast now! I love single chairs, but most people don't get it.
