Musical Chair
Since I cleaned out the garage and had lots of people come stock up on free furniture, I am finding things I totally forgot that I had!
I picked this little chair up for three dollars at a garage sale months ago. I decided to do something a little different than paint this time around.
I’m currently on a sheet music kick and my favorite aunt gave me a stack of it when I visited her last weekend for her surprise 70th birthday party! It is really old sheet music (some from the 20’s) that belonged to her father-in-law who played the banjo.
Chair+Sheet Music= Musical Chair!
🙂  Why not???
Here is the chair before:
I mod podged the sheet music all over it and left it to dry overnight. Today I lightly sanded it with a fine/medium sanding block to get rid of any rough edges of paper and to smooth the seams between the pieces. There were some white spots where I couldn’t get the music in the tiny spaces so I took a distress ink pad in “old paper” and a foam brush and inked around the edges and white spaces.
Here she is now…
This musical chair makes me wanna sing!

You are so very creative! I love the chairs. How can I get your email address so I can ask your advice about some windows in my living room that need curtains or something! They are small and narrow. I would like to send you pics. Please let me know, OK. Thanks,

Hi Melinda, I’ve added my email to my sidebar now but can’t figure out how to make it a link???
Anyway, here’s my email address: mapleandmagnolia@gmail.com or susan.haskins@gmail.com.
I’d love to take a look and try to help you out! Susan
love this chair! i recently done a small circular table and a cabinet and THOUGHT about a chair but hesitated. thanks so much for the inspiration! 🙂
ugh, i shared the wrong link. http://www.likeyesterdayshop.com. lol
Love what you did with this chair! It looks great, very charming 🙂
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!!!!
That is so cute. I did the same thing with a chair using dictionary pages then I stenciled READ on the seat of it. It was the first thing that sold in the show.
Fab u lous! Those chairs were very popular in the 40’s and 50’s in Massachusetts. Every one I knew had a set like that, painted white. Beautiful job with the Mod Podge.
What a super fun chair-I think it is just adorable and the play on words is GREAT!
This project had to be a labor of love. It was worth it – it is beautiful!
FUN! Thanks so much for linking to SFS! -shaunna 🙂
Just found your blog yesterday…LOVE IT! 🙂
Question about your chair (which is just stinkin cute by the way): did you put a poly over it when done?
Thanks for sharing your terrific blog with us all…so inspirational!
Hi Steph, Thanks a bunch! I didn’t poly the chair because I didn’t want the sheet music to yellow any further. Also, this is purely a decorative chair in a corner so it won’t get any wear and tear. Hope that helps. Take care!
This chair is over the top cool. Great look and great job.
