Did you know that there is such thing as leather dye? If only this one lady at the landfill had known that, she probably wouldn’t have been there in the first place, about to dump this faded, but otherwise perfect chair. (What?! Haven’t you ever heard of Goodwill, lady?)
But luckily, Lindsay Redd was also there! She decided to save the day, and the environment, and took the chair home, where it got a lovely leather dye treatment and looks brand new! Check out her blog HERE for more, and to see what DIDN’T survive the makeover…
