Diana found this IKEA chair left behind in an alleyway and thought it could look a little more inviting. And what’s more inviting than a chair imploring you to SIT?
I thought maybe she found the letter S at Hobby Lobby or something, but nope, Diana is a rockstar and made this herself with scavenged wood, a cereal box template and an overheating jigsaw. She’s like the MacGyver of makeovers! Check it out on her blog Fine Diving.
