DIY: Stripe Plastic Kid's Chair

Phil Donahue once said he felt he had mediocre talent for everything in life except talking. So, he became a talk show host!  Do you remember Phil Donahue? 

I feel the same way as Phil Donahue and trust me you don't ever want to hear me sing to prove it. Except, besides (ahem) talking (which I can definitely do), my special talent also includes looking at crummy things that would otherwise go in the trash and seeing something better. Those who know and love me well might argue that is not, in fact, a talent. But for all intents and purposes of this blog post today, we will pretend it is.

Take for example this gnarly plastic chair my neighbor was throwing away. My friends might say that I need a trash finding intervention--but I saw a project. By golly a DIY project!!

So, instead of seeing a sticker covered and totally trash-worthy chair, I somehow envisioned a cute little black and white chevron or plain black and white striped chair. 

Naturally I ignored the advice of my friends (who love me, I'll remind you) and I got to work, cleaned up the chair and painted it.

Would you like to know how? (please say yes, please say yes)

I thought you'd never ask:

So tell me, what has been your proudest redo moment at home? Is there anything you've seen potential in   for a little makeover?
