In reply to Jennifer Forest. I was shocked to see it for that price too! My husband REALLY wanted me to refinish it with a wood stain and bring it back that way, but it just had too many problem areas. Glad you liked it!

Forget the fact that this is a fantastic make-over and you are extremely brilliant and funny...
I cannot believe you bought this chair for only $5.00!!! Are you kidding me? One is incredibly lucky to find one less than $75-$100.00 around my area of the country! Yikes!
Getting back to the real reason for your post: You did a fabulous job with this banker's chair! I will definitely keep it in mind for the next banker's chair I see at a garage sale - if it's being sold for less that $75.00! LOL
Thanks again for your instructions and humorous post!

Judy from San Diego is so very excited to win the thermos! I never win nything!! I love the old time design on the thermos, just like my Dad had for years and carried to work. I am going to use it proudly!

I have a chair almost exactly like that. It's a bankers chair but has a leather cushioned seat. It's Brian's office chair. Wonder if he would mind sitting on the floor for a few days while I give it a makeover? Can't wait to see you list tomorrow! ~Erica

Pam, normally with old oak I don't like to paint it but this baby needed it! I think it turned out awesome! Great great job! I would proudly use it in my home. xo Dianne

What a deal on the chair! I love the imperfect edges of the stencil you chose and the black painted finish. Good thing Santa didn't haul it a away!

In reply to Shara. Chalk paint is very forgiving, Shara. You just sort of slop it on, that's what I like about it :) And of course there's always spray paint!
