Street Seats

One of the best things about living in New York is the fantastic stuff you can find just lying on the curb. Like this amazing molded-plastic chair.

I was out walking the dog at 6 am when I stumbled upon two of these (they were spray-painted black, but their potential was clear). I immediately called my husband so he could help me drag them home. There are a lot of other trash-pickers in our neighborhood, so I knew we had to snatch them right then and there. All I did was repaint them using white enamel. You'd never guess their origins!
