My hubby found this wonderful weathered rocking chair and rusty, chippy metal side table out by the curb. The rocker had a broken foot, which he replaced with some scrap wood from the garage. And I opened one of my cans of recycled paint and gave it a light coat, since the rest of the rocker is weathered. I paired the weathered pieces with one of my favorite blue vases that belonged to my grandmother. The white lily of the Nile flowers I picked from my yard. I set everything up under our jacaranda tree, I love the purple flowers.

ReplyDeleteThe rocker turned out great! I didn't think a break like that could be repaired. I love that rusty little table--I've been looking for one myself! I like the names of your cats too, especially Festus. We watched alot of Gunsmoke while it was raining on vacation!
ReplyDeleteMary, love the chair and the gracious and lovely setting.

Love, love your chair make-over - so fabulous! And what a sweet little sitting area you've made. So inviting! I love jacaranda trees (even though they can make a mess) - grew up on Jacaranda Street in Fullerton, CA!
