Lately I have been creating things out of chairs. Ever since I raided a burn pile a couple of weeks ago I can't help but think of ways to reuse those broken chair parts. I know it seems odd to have such a love for them, but it just seemed like a crime to even imagine that those 100 year old parts were soon to be ashes.
Oh the stories those chairs could probably tell! I feel so connected to history each time I save something from it's certain death. I can just see a family at the turn of the century sitting down together for supper discussing the events of the day. I wonder what the people would think if they could see the chairs now?
This bench is actually something I literally dreamed up. I woke up one morning with the idea of using the newel posts that I have accumulating in my basement. It's not exactly like I dreamed...it's better!
