Before and After - Wicker Chair

Last weekend I scored several chairs and end tables at an auction.

The chairs all need some TLC, a little DIY, and some need lots of luck.

I started with the easiest chair.

This cute little wicker

.

I think he's just adorable.

Wicker is something I've always loved.

It just speaks of older times.

Afternoon tea on the porch.

Time spent sitting and watching traffic go by.

Too paint or not to paint,

really was a big question for me.

The color was good,

but was washed out and whimpering quietly

for a little makeover.

My mother was wonderful and picked up some Rustoleum Aqua for me on her trip out of town.

A good excuse for her to stop in Home Depot.

She and my stepfather love going there.

Don't we all?

So after a bit of playing in the garden hose and washing off our dust laden chair.

He got a lovely splash of aqua from top to bottom.

The bottom should have been first,

as I was laying upside down on the deck,

spraying up under the chair to finish it.

The dogs were laughing,

each and everyone one.

pointing and saying,

You've got to see, what Momma is up to now!

She's trying to climb under a chair!

What do you think?

Isn't he pretty?

I love the seat.

It's just amazing.

I think he turned out quite lovely.

A new addiction is developing.

That mothering aspect in me,

wanting to take in the lost, lonely ones,

atleast chairs won't eat much.
