It's like I always say about curb finds... it's only embarrassing to take something off the curb for as long as it takes you to get it in your car and drive away. Then you get to keep it forever! :-)
All I did was paint it, and nail the seat down. then I started cutting up my Monet calendar and arranging the pieces into a collage. The seat is comprised of 4 different Monet masterpieces. When I got the pieces arranged just as I wanted them, I decoupaged them on. Mod Podge is a great way to do this, but it's not the only way and I've never actually owned "real" Mod Podge.
I'm really glad I put the piece at the top off-center. I think it gives it a nice unexpected twist.
I'm really pleased with the outcome and plan to do a piece of furniture with Van Gogh masterpieces next. Can anyone tell I'm into impressionism??? ;-)
Check out another one of my chair makeovers here! :-)

Do you sell any of your stuff? You should. Very creative.
I love the Monet chair - so beautiful!
I think you should open a shop, really cute with all sorts of chairs you've reinvented...you could call it "Have a Seat"!

So great! the MM is at it again! I love what you said about the moment of being embarrassed is from the curb to the car and then it;s yours forever!!! yay!!!
That is amazing! I love it!
This is rad! I love it - you did a great job.
Huge Monet and Van Gogh fan here, so I love that chair
I saw something similar on the DIY today, and I was just as inspired as I am now. You did an amazing job. I think I want to do something like this on my kitchen chairs. All 6 of them. Hmmm. I need to do some research. Very nice and very clever!!
