After sanding and priming it, I painted it turquoise to match my batik-inspired Asian elephant.
I was ready to purchase a quart of paint for about $7 but when I looked at the "OOPS" section, where paint mixes were made in error, I found a turquoise shade that was very close to what I needed and bought the can for $1 (my favorite price!).
So the cost of the whole chair is $6. But working on it has given me invaluable solitude, peace and clarity of mind.
Chair: $6
Peace: priceless
And as the ad goes, "And for everything else, there's Master Card."
