Ok, so my Mom thinks I've lost it! I've had this HUGE antique dining room table and chairs for a few years and it has limited me to what I can put in the area -- so I dismantled! Put in a smaller table and the chairs were beyond keeping together much anymore, so I repurposed! That's what I would have done if I'd found them on the street I told her! I sanded down a little, added some cherry stain, put on misc hardware for character and hung a picture from it. The way the chair back is curved adds great dimension to the wall. I have one for each grandchild haning on either side of the fireplace. The chairs have never looked better!

Pattern or design used: My own design

Happy junking,
