Repurposed Vintage Folding Chair Message Center

I've been a message center making machine lately... 
I've been creating and selling them quickly.

 This message center is made from a vintage folding chair.

I've made them from shutters, cabinet doors, and old furniture parts.


Today I searched the garage for something that would work and I found a vintage folding chair. 


I began by nailing it closed so it was permanently closed.

Next I added cork into the recessed part of the seat.

I attached a pre-made framed chalkboard to the top of the chair

and added antique hooks to hang keys, a reclaimed wood shelf, and clips for pictures, notes or coupons.

Now I'm adding a vintage chair to my repertoire of message centers and I love the look!
