Well there are still some old Cadillac rotors - you could go first class - oh and we have an old foundation out back - lots of concrete blocks. Maybe if it's closer you could stop at a grocery store and see if they have any 5 gallon buckets in the deli - maybe you could fill them up with water or concrete - stick a couple on each corner. If you want to go spendy some times they have 5 gallon buckets at Lowes in wild cool colors.

She gave me her watch she was sentimental about - I lost it. She is 89 and still hasn't let it go.... it's been over 35 years.

I think Lila's on to something with cutting off the back handles and bringing it forward. Maybe you could mount it on something that will make it just a motionless chair that is more upright. Once you add the paint and pillows---good luck---! </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=588#post-9310 Fri, 31 Jul 2009 15:01:09 +0000 Lila 9310@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>I like the idea of painting the cane seat and back. Maybe even the rest of the chair as well. Possibly you could wedge the rockers forward so the chair is more up right (after painting), put a large full plant on the seat and allow it to be a place for a beautiful growing vine type plant. The right plant could even encompase the entire chair one day. I'd discretely snap off those cury handles on the back. It makes it look like Rosevelts wheel chair. </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=588#post-9309 Fri, 31 Jul 2009 14:54:30 +0000 Chelcass 9309@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>Oh wow! I would take it in a heartbeat. Who gave it to you and how long ago? Ya know we ladies like to rearrange our furniture on a regular basis (you get my drift). Can you move it to another room, say a bedroom (guest room). Leave for a few months then move somewhere else until you can safely shoo it out the door. I don't think I would paint it, that would decrease it's value.............one day down the road you are going to be able to sell it and make a profit...............How about a shabby chic slipcover to go over it? </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=588#post-9308 Fri, 31 Jul 2009 14:07:33 +0000 gigi 9308@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>i, too loved the bentwoods and purchased one back in 1990 and just sold it last year in our paper for more than i purchased it new!!<br /> how's that for turning a product over? lol ;)</p> <p>i'm sorry that i have no advice for you, tho :( </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=588#post-9302 Fri, 31 Jul 2009 10:30:38 +0000 redneckChic 9302@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>Leveta - I would move for you to take it off of my hands.

Getting rid of it is not an option - getting it out of my living room is not an option. I HATE this chair...it drives me crazy (well, crazier...)...it was a gift and I can't re-gift, move it to an out of the way place (preferably the barn back behind the barn that's back behind the other barn). So...HELP! Any ideas as to how to make this look a little more appealing in an eclectic living room? It sits in the corner...one side of the corner is a painted wall (dark goldy/yellow) and the other side is a painted book-case (black). I was thinking about painting the middle sections and leaving the wood - then putting some big pillows in it so that one might see the pillows instead of the chair...</p> <p>any ideas? anyone want to come steal it out of my living room? i promise...i'll turn a blind eye...</p> <p> </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=277#post-3550 Thu, 26 Mar 2009 16:11:28 +0000 redneckChic 3550@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>Jaybird...shame on you!!!

I'd cover the holes that the clock face didn't cover with some cute craft paper (maybe on some cardboard for sturdiness), and paint the outside. (I paint everything. Drives my husband nuts.)

Who would ever consider throwing that out? I have taken vintage radios, removed the guts, and inserted CD organizers to make a "secret" CD holder. So, naturally, that was my first thought. But after reading the other ideas, I really like the mirror idea and I like the tealight idea, but I think you could even take it one step further and wire it with a light bulb to make a lamp of sorts.<br /> Midge </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=277#post-3461 Wed, 25 Mar 2009 10:49:10 +0000 magark 3461@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>hillbillies - I love the idea of the chicken wire and tealight. You could even get one of those battery operated tealights for safety. Cool idea! I was walking downstairs to the laundry room in the basement yesterday and glanced on the wall and discovered a wooden heart thingy that I may put chicken wire in to repurpose. It is a thick primitive looking piece. It has been hanging there for a while but I guess it just went away from my view each time I go down to the laundry room...! That old radio has wonderful possibilities...my hubby would have tossed it too!
