It's been such a long time I think I should be goin', yeah (Boston)

I started a project last summer.  I just finished it today, well sort of.  Last year at the end of school our technology room was being renovated an we found all of these chairs just tossed in the hallway.  There were perfectly fine except ugly and uncomfortable.  So I snagged 4, 2 for home and 2 for school. However I was told I would NOT be allowed to bring them back to the building.  I then asked what if they look better? 
So I tore them apart and bought some new fabric and spray painted them.  I added new upholstery too and learned a very important lesson.  DON'T cheap out on the cushion.  I did.  My butt regrets it. 
Here is the one I just finished for my aid who loves tie-dye and peace signs (which you can't see from this picture).  If you compare the below picture to the above you can tell that there is a thicker cushion on the bottom chair.  I got a real deal on high density foam at Joan Fabrics.  Now I'm going to bring mine home and add more cushion as well!
