$4 Cantilever Chair

<div style="text-align: center;">This weekend I bought a $4 cantilever chair from Good Will. At that price, I just could not leave it behind. I'm visiting my parents in Waterloo for a few days, and when I pulled it out of the car I told my dad that "it just needs a little TLC". My dad's response?: "It needs a little more than that". I mean sure one of the button tufts has popped and the upholstery is dirty and gross, but Pops! Just see the potential. Just use a little imagination and it can go from this:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQFVxvIAR4G1Zfu8VvDS5NiJBFB6H4N2wm0tykgPQ-0BrX030lIlRYHzxg8BB8fSUnp1nTUEKdgyQXj1O5nqUGBN7lrM27vehYAZBj1Ag2cQIsJngKoNtaPvgqcTHw5qNQ3kZPEy7w3NM/s1600/CANTILEVER+CHAIR+EDITED2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQFVxvIAR4G1Zfu8VvDS5NiJBFB6H4N2wm0tykgPQ-0BrX030lIlRYHzxg8BB8fSUnp1nTUEKdgyQXj1O5nqUGBN7lrM27vehYAZBj1Ag2cQIsJngKoNtaPvgqcTHw5qNQ3kZPEy7w3NM/s1600/CANTILEVER+CHAIR+EDITED2.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUM4GombyZQyazA0uEzC3cpqAKMe1-TTQ4lNVsW1q32BeN7fifa4CJQTuF4WAgkDa5Gy9XU-OyTrI5keC1GoVod98EgGjAFdp6wyBbv9DaKnKO3pel-Kd9mdigBL9J-hENKHWZHyDEtg8/s1600/CANTILEVER+CHAIR+EDITED1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUM4GombyZQyazA0uEzC3cpqAKMe1-TTQ4lNVsW1q32BeN7fifa4CJQTuF4WAgkDa5Gy9XU-OyTrI5keC1GoVod98EgGjAFdp6wyBbv9DaKnKO3pel-Kd9mdigBL9J-hENKHWZHyDEtg8/s1600/CANTILEVER+CHAIR+EDITED1.jpg" /></a></div><br />to this:<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg531pLn-kqf5gC_uy8EdfhBV3FGYCYOTSlSSOqb6Fh0fomFKQfE0QEPoBHl9Tsw0meOIWvKiBojUZqTwXs-4qu088s7zEHl3oCH1KbuNBNH4AINesu8IjzAAUOC6vjvy4m7Rk-E580C2o/s1600/cantilever+chairs+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg531pLn-kqf5gC_uy8EdfhBV3FGYCYOTSlSSOqb6Fh0fomFKQfE0QEPoBHl9Tsw0meOIWvKiBojUZqTwXs-4qu088s7zEHl3oCH1KbuNBNH4AINesu8IjzAAUOC6vjvy4m7Rk-E580C2o/s1600/cantilever+chairs+1.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://mimosalaneblog.blogspot.ca/2014/05/one-room-challenge-week-6-reveal.html" target="_blank">via Mimosa Lane</a></td></tr></tbody></table> or this:<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHRvQxWZr4mTbweMxh04c6-SABCldLs6XnnJ37kI9QV-Otfg9_lZy90zu2ZTeGPV5REs2xUOs7MN6fATCBN4f-vtvMakmR4EGKW4xXXuKTCDrdD8_oeylncs_laYwDAANxU3hkhpRitFU/s1600/cantilever+chairs+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHRvQxWZr4mTbweMxh04c6-SABCldLs6XnnJ37kI9QV-Otfg9_lZy90zu2ZTeGPV5REs2xUOs7MN6fATCBN4f-vtvMakmR4EGKW4xXXuKTCDrdD8_oeylncs_laYwDAANxU3hkhpRitFU/s1600/cantilever+chairs+2.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://loveonsunday.com/thrifted-thursday-with-charmaine-of-my-best-friend-craig/" target="_blank">My Best Friend Craig via Love on Sunday</a></td></tr></tbody></table><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkErzRH-1zBXx22aWWqSA308bprO94Nrq8GE_TVvLAPTa9v14LDeobSBc6ttU3N3HQtHTBd8TvL4GNWs0aSDyJewb7V2sOJYjxvAWxNwLq8Eo8q0LXeRNYypQRIfZSojqYyzLYf8PyfbY/s1600/cantilever+chairs+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkErzRH-1zBXx22aWWqSA308bprO94Nrq8GE_TVvLAPTa9v14LDeobSBc6ttU3N3HQtHTBd8TvL4GNWs0aSDyJewb7V2sOJYjxvAWxNwLq8Eo8q0LXeRNYypQRIfZSojqYyzLYf8PyfbY/s1600/cantilever+chairs+3.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Original source unknown but too good not to include.
