You know that you have NESTING FEVER when you have the itch to make things clean and beautiful to your backyard. There is a certain kinda of sanity to be found in a garden. Someday I hope to the have most beautiful secluded backyard, in which to hide away from the world. One day I'll ask my mother-in-law to help me create this, but for now the views of the surrounding neighborhood rooftops will simply have to do.
I saw this chair on Craigslist, not really knowing exactly what it looked like or what I was going to do with it. After staring at it for a few days I thought it would be really cute to paint an anchor on the back, buuuuuut figured that wasn't really practical unless I had a client specifically requesting that! Then it hit me... I knew it's sturdy structure would be perfect for a backyard design. A garden chair.
Before
Make sure the piece is fully cured (usually about 2-3 weeks), rain and heavy pots will scratch up that paint job in no time. If you want you can add a topcoat of sealer, unless you want your piece to get all outdoorsy.
Here are a few more outdoor numbers I found inspiring. It is funny how good weathered day can remind me to be grateful for the simple things in life, setting my priorities straight once again.
Love these vintage green growths in this forest setting!
Does this put you in the mood to work in the garden today? I wish I could, but everyday I wake up and remember the second I step foot out of the door the bajillion degrees will hit me like a ton of bricks. Dang Arizona! Why do I live here again?
These look absolutely gorgeous!!!
