Happy Tuesday! Here are a couple of photos of my Craigslist find - a vintage school chair. I found this little one on Sunday morning and I just had to have it. I've been thinking that we could probably use a little more seating in the living room, but don't want anything that is too bulky or takes up much room. And I love that this little chair is a mix of wood and metal. It is sort of modern country industrial and I love it. I treated the wood with Briwax, which is a fix-all when it comes to wood. It cleans, stains, and protects. Seriously, if something looks a little dull, but like too dull to be the right patina, put Briwax on it and it will be perfect. It comes in different tones, and this one is dark brown. It is like magic. When I get around to showing you the before and after pictures of the library ladder, you'll see what I mean. So $30.00 for the chair, and ten minutes with some Briwax and I've got pretty neat new seating! Hope your day is awesome.

Gorgeous chair! Really such a neat find. And good to know about the Briwax - I'd never heard of it before.
