WISTERIA


Despite the cold spring and torrential rains we have been having, my wisteria has never looked better!








Smells heavenly!

A little Do-Over


Welcome to my blog!  I love finding furniture bargains , fixing them up and using them in my home.  I found these 2 wooden chairs at a rummage sale.  I paid $2.50 each for them. They are nice, sturdy wooden chairs but were painted ugly, dirty white. I am collecting old farms chairs for my kitchen with the goal of having mis-matched colorful chairs to use at my kitchen table.



After removing the ugly seats and pulling out ton's of staples I was ready for paint.  The first chair I painted Behr Fire Cracker Red .  Love this red!!!





The 2nd chair is Buttermilk yellow milk paint.  I used old feed sacks for the seats that I found in my stash. This was actually my first try at upholstery but I think it turned out okay.  It was a lot more challenging that I thought it would be .














Below is a peek at the completed chairs and table.  I love all of the colors!
