Three Ways to Use a Vintage Wood Folding Chair

Wood folding chairs often show up for sale at thrift stores and garage sales. I love to grab them if the price is right because there are lots of ways to use them in your home. This vintage cutie came home with me recently.

I did power wash it, vut left the paint splatters on it to show its age and previous life. I then used Wise Owl Furniture Salve (get it HERE from my friend Tina) to freshen up the dry wood.

A vintage wood chair works perfectly as a plant stand.

The warm wood and the green plant are beautiful together.

A folding chair works as a nightstand in a tight or small space.

I wouldn't want to use it as an every day nightstand because it is a little low. But, next to a guest bed, it is a great solution. It will hold a book, a phone, and other items needed next to a bed.

Another way to use a vintage, folding, wood chair is to hang it on a wall (or door in this case) to add texture and warmth. Hang a picture or mirror on it and it acts as a unique "frame".

A bonus is it gives you an extra seat when you need one. Be sure to pick these folding chairs up when you see them and think out of the box and have fun using them in your home!
