Larissa from Prodigal Pieces didn’t see a broken chair…she saw a fabulous Farmhouse Shelf! Come see the DIY!
De De From Designed Decor has a moment of Brilliance as far as I am concerned when she Re-Purposed these Chair Lets into a bench! It doesn’t matter if the top of the chair was broken or if the seat caved in…nope…she sawed the seat and above off and was left with the set of legs X 1 which she added a piece of wood to and it formed a fabulous Farmhouse Bench. Come and see how she did it. You can even make single stools. Like I said…brilliant!
Sadies Seasongoods has such an original idea when she turned this chair back into a Farmhouse Scarf Rack. It’s perfect in every way especially the hooks made out of old silverware. A little bit of sawing…sanding …staining and imagination and your will have a perfect piece like this one too.
Craftzen is going to show you how to upcycle two chairs into a wonderful Farmhouse Bench by adding planks of wood. When you create something like this…there are so many options…stain color…paint colors…even a great paint treatment. Add a few throw pillows and it is magic. The Diy awaits you!
Did you know that just by cutting the back off your chair you have the perfect little end table? Well Angie over at Knick Of Time sure did! Just saw the back off…sand…touch it up or give it a complete painting or staining and there you have it!
How much do you love these Chair Hangers over at Upcycled Zine? By simple sawing the chair back to where you want it to end…painting…staining or whatever you want and adding a metal hook..voila! Use them in so many different ways!

Here we are at Homeroad once again. Susan is so creative…this time she Re=Purposed a Vintage Folding Chair into a Message Center! How cool is that! She is the perfect example of someone that looks into the soul of the piece and finds it’s new purpose!
Talk about crazy creative…Angie of Knick Of Time has her way with Upcycing Chairs…I mean she has done probably about 40 different ones and this one is Farmtastic. She took a Vintage Folding Chair and turned it into a Chalkboard Sign. Great for Weddings…Parties and you could even remove the back legs and hang it on the wall in the Kitchen as a Menu Board! Don’t you just love it!
Brooke over at All Things Thrifty had 4 chairs…2 she used for her Dining Room Transformation and the other 2 where a bit tattered. Well when her hubby asked if they could go…she put on her thinking cap and came up with a great way to use them. She didn’t have the time to reupholster them…so she turned them into wonderful frames! Great idea don’t you think! See how she did it and start looking for chairs that have the same possibility…talk about a unique piece for a Gallery Wall.
There is more Re-Purposed Chair goodness happening over at Organized Clutter. Carlene is going to show you how to make a Chair Back Photo Hanger! How wonderful does that look. She shows you the process so you can do it yourself. Love her ideas.

Even if the whole chair is wobbly…scratched…seat broken…1 leg…if it has great spindles…snatch it up! Saw them off and collect them. You never know where you can use them. Christy over at Confessions Of A Serial DIYER will show you what wonderful handles they make.

Julie Briones says
Love these, Andrea! I have two of these… One I’m going to ‘cannibalize’ and use the spindles and legs on other pieces… and one, I think I may cut the back off and use it as a table or stool, like Angie did! 😀
Andrea says
