This month’s challenge was to take an old chair — the uglier the better — and remake it into something beautiful!

This was one of my favorite challenges. I loved seeing all of the transformations within the projects — simply amazing!

The winner of the challenge is Sharon.S for her entry titled, “Two Chairs to a Bench For Two”

Sharon.S created this beautiful bench from two previously wonky chairs and parts from an old headboard. To read more of the details regarding her project, follow this link: http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=249299.0

Sharon.S is the winner of a copy of the beautiful new book by Susan Beal titled Bead Simple!

Amazon.com’s description:
Most beading books include a mix of patterns but call for very specific beads and materials. So if crafters don’t like the beads used in the projects, or don’t have them in hand, they won’t enjoy the projects, no matter how beautiful they are. But Susan Beal has untangled this knotty problem. Bead Simple is the first work of its kind that offers stunning jewelry patterns that can be completely customized with a variety of beads and stringing materials. Based on simple, yet effective beading techniques, this strikingly illustrated pattern guide includes 50 glittering designs, each featuring two bold variations for a total of 150 projects that can easily be achieved with different materials or tweaks. With hot guest designers, including DIY Network’s Jennifer Perkins and Megan Nicolay, author of the bestselling Generation T, here is the one book that finally offers jewelers the versatility to let their unique personalities shine through.

And here are a few of my personal favorites this challenge!
