I would really love to do some furniture makeover just like what these creative people did to some wooden chairs they got. The chairs are either an old family possession or something they bought from a thrift store or an online sale. Who would not envy them?Knowing that these are old chairs will give us the clue that they are tattered and are no longer presentable or comfortable to sit on.
