Good morning, hope you are having a {lovely} Columbus Day!
I love these old style metal patio chairs, and have been looking for some for forever!
I love these old style metal patio chairs, and have been looking for some for forever!
Guess where I found them?
In my mother-in-law's garage!
And she let me have them!
(Yes, HAVE! As in free!)
(Yes, HAVE! As in free!)
I was very very excited, because although they have a little rust and are painted a lovely primer grey, they have zero dents, and are in {amazing} shape for their age!
I stripped off the grey paint... then some red paint... and under that I found blue paint!
the chair on the right has been stripped and sanded down to the metal... just a tiny bit of rust on the seat!
A few coats of primer and some Krylon spray paint, and these puppies are ready for my {imaginary} patio! (I need a patio...)
Love these ladies! (Of course these chairs are female!)

Such a great transformation -- love the spring-like colors you chose!

Wow! I wish someone would give me a couple of those. I've been looking everywhere for a couple that were not rusted and were built strong enough for a plus-size woman to sit in.
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother had some of these chairs on her porch, and I have a picture of me when I was about 3 months old sitting in the chair. I wasn't able to sit up yet, so my Mom used a cloth diaper to tie me in the chair! Good memories.
Your chairs look wonderful! I know it was hard work scraping the layers of old paint, but the result is STUNNING!
Awesome re-do! Thanks for linking up to Mad Skills Monday!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm coveting these chairs! My grandmother had some in her yard at the farm many years ago, and I was always (and still am) enamored with them. Would love to have some one day.
ReplyDeletelove the new colors!!
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE chairs like those. Great job on the Re-Do.

You are lucky to find those as you did. I have seen them in estate sales and antique places, and they are pricey. You made a big difference in yours.
ReplyDeleteI love the look of that kind of chair, but they get too hot in the sun.
ReplyDeleteI love the color you picked for the 'girls'! (they definetely look like ladies to me!) Great find. Free is the best kind!!
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful. I love the colors you picked for these. Did you have to sand these down before you painted?? Love them....great job. Happy VTT!

ReplyDeleteThese chairs remind me of beach cottages, which had these when I was young.

ReplyDeleteHope you get your patio for the girls cause they will look lovely!
ReplyDeleteI would choose those exact colors! But I gotta say, stripping them all the way down to metal was very diligent of you! That's alot of work!
