In an effort to be "green", I decided to give these old director chairs a new life. I've had them about 8 or more years and they have had any where from red to black replacement canvas seats & backs.

After giving them a good sanding, and 2 coats of black paint, they are ready for another set of replacement canvas seats. Ordered them online from Lowe's (only $3.73 each) and picked them up from the store the next day. I could have picked them up the same day, but it's a long way from my house.

Finished product with green canvas seats. They look awesome. These were so inexpensive, I ordered some tan ones too. Only spent $31.93 for the 2 sets of replacement seats and about $3/can for paint (spray paint). WHO SAYS IT'S NOT EASY BEING GREEN?
Stay tuned to see where they will show up next!
