DIY Repurposed Chair Key Organizer

This was a special chair to my daughter many years ago because it was part of a room that was made for her as her Make a Wish. 

She wished for a gorgeous room with beautiful furniture that she loved a lot.

The room is still amazing but the chair needed to be replaced. 

Instead of throwing it out, I'm repurposing it... of course!

I began by taking the chair apart and removing the upholstery from the back of the chair. 

I drew a line across the bottom of the chair and cut off the back legs with a circular saw.

I chose the color Cathedral Taupe by Fusion Mineral Paint for this project.

The next step to turn this chair into a key organizer involved adding pieces of an old wooden thread holder I had. 

I cut them to fit inside the heart shape of the chair than painted them to match. 

As a finishing touch I went around all the edges and the flower with gold gilding wax. 

It gave the piece a little dimension. 

I put a sawtooth hanger on the back and hung it up to organize all of our keys. 

Truth be told I'm not even sure what half these keys go to. 

I also added a knob to the bottom to hang the dog leash.
