curb•ie (ker’bee) n.
1. broken, discarded, or worthless things left along edge of street.
2. raw treasures waiting to be re-loved, re-purposed.
If you’ve been following
my madness for a while,
you may remember some of these items I rescued off the curb last summer and fall. Hence~ curb•ies !
Since I seemed to have caught a cold now (apparently I have nO immune system anymore), I was looking for an easy-peasy, low-brain-power type of project.
Uuuh, well~ some of THESE things could use some attention LuV!
Chair #1
The old wooden chair.
It’s kind of low, but I can’t see that the legs have been cut down–??
It dOEs seem like a good height and size for a kid. Maybe a desk chair-?
~inside my head. . .
Maybe I could come up with a desk-?
Maybe that odd wooden cabinet could be re-invented! Hmmm. . .
~
Anyway~thinking of a kid, I gave it an Americana paint job!
~but inside my head. . .
Hey! There’s another chair or two in mom’s garage attic~
maybe I could paint the British and French flags on them
and join them all together with a bistro table!
~I do LoVe to travel! ; D

I’m sharing my Curbie with these linky parties!
Love it!
Love your “curbies”!!!
You chair turned out so fabulous! You have a great collection of “curbies” – good for you!
Love your chairs, what a great idea. I now follow your blog.
Too cute. I painted a chair seat like this many years ago and it brought back memories. A great look for a front porch too.
Love, love, love, now I need a curbie lol
I love your word “curbies” – must remember that.
I love your chair – must think of copying that.
I think I must start looking at the curb while I drive.
can’t wait to try the flag on a chair for the 4th of July. Great idea.
really? all of that stuff off the curb? Jealous! The chair looks great!
I love that chair. She is gorgeous!’
This is very cute…I love me a good flag
I can see it the kids fighting over which Country they want to sit on…What fun!!
I pinned it to my “Awesome Furniture” board
I might have to paint one of these!
