Hotel Chairs

I'm joining The Knock Off Knock Out party over at It's So Very Cheri. Make sure you head on over there to see some more awesome "knock offs"! I'm also joining the Before & After Party at Thrifty Decor Chick. If you like before & afters as much as I do, check it out!

This wasnt an intentional knock off, but ended up working out that way. Awhile back, I found two old hotel chairs for $5 a piece at a yard sale. I was SO excited when I saw them and just new that either someone had already bought them, or that they would be super expensive. But YAY! they werent, so they came home with me. They were a bright blue color and kind of rusty.

This year I noticed that Lowe's had some very similar shaped chairs out with the summer furniture. We happened to stop and look at them one day, and they were $35 a piece for the chairs, and $29 for the table. No thank you!

I wasnt sure at first I wanted to paint mine, but I finally decided that we should. So while at Lowe's we checked out the paint. So here are the chairs before...

Oh, and Mike's dad brought me the same style table, they were throwing it away at his work. Here it is before...

Apparently we must have been inspired by the Lowe's ones, because this is how they turned out!

So here's the breakdown.

Lowe's:

2 chairs @ $35 each

1 table at $29

Total - $99

Mine:

2 chairs @ $5 each

1 table - FREE

2 cans of spraypaint - about $10

Total - $20

MUCH better in my opion!
