Between Naps on the Porch. I have chosen a recent project of my husbands to share today. I've mentioned before that Bob loves to find a box of wooden parts at an auction for a dollar or two. Then, he sorts them to figure out just what he has. This chair came in pieces in one of those boxes. Once he had it laid out, there were only a couple of rungs missing. Sorry, I don't have a picture of all of the pieces; but this is what it looked like all assembled and still unfinished with the new rungs he made.

WOW...beautiful chair! I love it...
Fabulous transformation! I am not at all clever or handy but do admire these traits in others.
Great job on the chair! Love the cushion too.
Hi Sally, your husband does such beautiful work, did he also refinish that great desk that's in the background?
What a fun hobby for your husband! And you get to profit. What a beautiful transformation! ~ Robyn
I love those old pressed back chairs, too. My grandparents had them around an old round oak table.

Thanks for the visit. Yes, we spent the night in Houston and had a lovely dinner and after the race a nice breakfast. I felt so refreshed to get away for a bit. Thanks for asking, Dear One.
Be a sweetie,

Stunning makeover, Sally. Does your DH give lessons? He could teach summer camp for husbands who need training ;-)
