I'm totally making up the name "garden chair." It just sounds so much better than "crappy little chair I bought from a garage sale." ;) Last my town held city-wide garage sales, and a friend and I headed out Friday morningto see what we could find. I ended up with a vintage metal milk crate, a blue mason jar (one can never have too many!), an old US map puzzle, and this gross little chair. ;)
I slapped a coat of paint on it...totally NOT outdoor paint, but whatever - it's going to sit outside and get destroyed anyway - and it looks so much cuter! I felt a little bad painting over the hand-scribbled name of the child who used to own (and clearly love) this chair...but it was worth it. ;)
I put it on my porch with a few flower pots and it's perfect - exactly what I was looking for.
I envision our stoop being filled with all kinds colorful pots and flowers - unfortunately most of our planters were left behind in IL. Friday night, my husband and I went on a date night and when he asked me where I wanted to go, I chose Home Depot - the site of all hot dates. ;) I got a few more pots, but I want more, more more!!! Here is what it looks like now:
Our front stoop clearly needs a lot of work. It's OLD and cracked and pretty ugly, but hopefully I can at least make it look cute during the different seasons! I will share a photo once we get the rest of our pots. Hope everyone has a great Monday - it's storming here right now and supposed to storm all day. Yay. ;) I am thankful for the rain, but it makes the day go by soooo much slower!! Hope it's sunny where you are!
