I found this chair in someone's trash yesterday while I was jogging. It had such potential that I had to have it! I carried it back home while pushing the stroller. It was a challenge but the trash man was coming and there was no time to come back for it. It is very sturdy and the weathered wood was just dying to be painted!
I had some red spray paint already. It is Rust Oleum "Colonial Red". It is so hard to find a good red spray paint and I love this one! I got it at Hobby Lobby. I gave the chair a good coat of paint and put chicken wire in the seat to hold a plant or pot of flowers (you can get the chicken wire at Home Depot). Then I stenciled "bloom" on the back. It was so easy and cost me $0! I used what I already had in the garage.
I love my new little FREE treasure and it makes the flowers look twice as pretty! You never know what you might find in the trash!
