Recycled Leather Office Chair

Hello Everyone!  I recently recycled an older leather office chair into a more colorful and fun craft room chair using spray paint.

I’ve had this chair for years and love how comfortable it is, but it just didn’t match the retro vibe I am going for in my craft room. I debated a long time about what to do with this chair. I wasn’t sure if I could recover it and I even wondered if I should just replace it, but then decided I would just paint it! The spray paint can says it will cover vinyl and plastic, so then I thought “why not leather”. Paint is one of my very good friends and I use spray paint all the time; I just knew that it would be worth a try and my gamble paid off. Leather can be spray painted! Yay!

Recycled Basket Stool

I’ve been doing some recycling today.  I’m not much a garbage recycler (I need to change that.), but when it comes to furniture and home accessories I’m all over it.

Isn’t that the way it is with life.  Some times we need to “recycle” ourselves and take some quiet time to make small shifts in ourselves.  We are all beautiful the way we are, but we get stuck in ruts or are making some “not so good” decisions that need to be changed.  Constant improvement and growing is my mantra!  Many times I take a step forward, but then take 10 steps back.  You know….life stuff gets in the way some times.  My ultimate goal is to better myself each day.  Recycle, reclaim, and recover.

I recently found this old broken stool in a dumpster and this awesome large basket at a yard sale.
