Deck the Chair

So finally I grabbed from my garage (eek) one of the old deck chairs and decided to re vamp it a little. I bought 2 vintage bed spreads from CS ages ago and always intended to use them for something.So I took old scary, spider ridden deck chair. Stripped it. Painted it with left over red and after a bit of sewing and a small struggle with a few upholstery nails. VOILA! Add one child and a cat and SOME SUN! And we have the perfect Monday afternoon.

    Wow Fleur. Not saying it because it's the nice polite thing to say, that chair really is the business.

    And - how exciting. If you do manage to make it to us it would be great to meet you. You'll love Holt anyway - too many places to spend money.

    Wow it looks fabulous :)

    Yes all from the same CB lol, I look everywhere believe me, and find the best things in the old and dusty boxes people have under the table not ON the table ;~)

    Well now I am very interested in your makeover as I aquired 2 vintage deckchairs from the CB too and haven't a clue what to do with them, so thanks for the inspiration :)

    Beatiful work on your chair! I wish I had one with some lovely fabric and new paint:)
    I like your black cat in your side bar...
    Aslo from your side bar.. for me the wicked witch of the west from Wizord of Oz... still do not watch this.
    I must return! :)

    With Kindness,
    Mary
