Re: A true "junky" to "funky" transformation

This is a fantastic transformation or repurposing--love it!

Thanks. It's funny, I didn't think about matching the fabric when I chose the colors. I had originally painted the fabric on the chairs. The deck chairs were $2 each at a garage sale and were faded black. I painted them and they lasted about 5 years, but the tops broke. As I had them sitting in a pile to go in the trash, I saw the possibilities of a table and pulled them out. I still have one other chair that will probably be the same thing, unless I see something different.
