I found two retro lawn chairs at a yard sale ~
but I was not quick enough and some other person
elbowed me out and bought them.
I was disappointed, but my hubby came to my rescue!
He saw two similar chairs that someone was
tossing out ...
and he picked them up and brought them home!
I managed to finish one. I still have the other one to
clean, sand and paint. I went with a celery green to carry out the
retro look, and I have some bark cloth fabric that has a
Florida appeal. All I need now is warm weather,
and a tropical drink with a little umbrella, but ...
Then again I might change my mind and paint them red!

LURVE that green! Almost makes me wish for summer. (But not really - way tooooooo hot here in the summer.)
ReplyDeleteLove the chairs! Our cottage chairs came out of someone's garbage! Hubby pulled them out for me. We love them! I painted them and reupholstered the seats too!
ReplyDeleteOh Susan, your new old chairs just SCREAM northwoods lake cottage - - - only folks there SIT in 'em and don't PLANT in 'em.
ReplyDeleteDo it! Change your mind and paint them red! I love red. ;P
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous chair and I LOVE that fabric! I would stick with the green colour myself. So very pretty!
ReplyDeleteOh love how the chair turned out! These chairs bring me back to my childhood...our elderly neighbors had a few & I always remember sitting on them in their yard.
ReplyDeleteOh! My I have experienced aggressive garage sale shoppers. I had one woman claim to want to buy something I had in my hands and that my husband was paying for! What a triumph for you and a dear husband to have found these!
ReplyDeleteThe color choice is perfect!
God Bless,
Kathy
