This week is the week for painting. Weather's perfect. Wanna see? These lovelies came from my Grandmother's front porch. I bet she doesn't remember that somewhere underneath the crumbling, splitting white paint, the chairs were once yellow. Oh, but, of course, she remembers! Her 108-year-old mind is like a steel trap. Well, Grandmother, here are the "new" chairs! I hope you like them.
Take a look at the patio's metal chairs. (I love metal chairs.) They will turn colors this fall, too.
They are drying from the primer paint right now, but just wait!
Now...take a look at these lovely porch posts. These are the things I slaved over this week, these five neck-breakers. I think I heard them talking...
Said one porch post to the other: "I can see your IQ tests were negative." The other replies: "Yeah, well, you can say anything you like, because no one listens to you anyway."
I would like to give just a tad of advice to anyone who considers spray painting anything: Stay upwind! Duh...
One more picture you just have to see! Can you see them -- this wildlife family in the meadow?
(I must apologize for the amateur photography. I will get better at the picture-taking, I promise.)
Tomorrow, 34 is taking me sewing machine shopping. I found a handsome Bernina on sale.
See you in the funny papers!
*giggles* love that foot pic...will show it to my daughter when she gets home from school. SHe loves wearing "flip-flops" and sometimes has feet that are THAT dirty! I guess it's easier to wash of than that paint!! lol

Hi - Vickie from Sand Flat Farm in NE Texas, too! Howdy! Just found your blog thru Brin. Had to write - we have about 10 metal chairs - old ones and one glider! My husband spray painted them all different colors, my daughter thinks it looks gay to do different colors, but we like it! Come by and visit sometime!
ReplyDeleteFound your blog through Brin's (who is so brave and beautiful).
ReplyDeleteThose chairs make me smile. I remember them from my childhood. I noticed once I passed the age of 50, so many childhood objects are vintage... if not antiques. :)
Love, love, love your blog. I also found it thru Brin's. She is quite a girl and you sure raised her right.
ReplyDeletei just love your orange fall chairs. they made me happy
