A "Barrel of Tubs!!"
I picked up this barrel/tub chair at Goodwill 3 weeks ago because it gave me a mind full of good ideas on how to bring it back to life and it only cost $3.75! Watch this space to see it's new lease of life....
Removing the thousands of staple that had been used during manufacturing of the chair was a tedious, tiresome nightmare.
Now to put it all back together! Seat base and remainder of the chair reupholstered in a bright and fun fabric. Don't forget to mark where the legs where to screw back on.
The legs were brown with a high sheen finish and brass metal tip. I covered the brass area on each one and sanded down the brown area on each, primed and then painted white. Once done I removed the masking tape on each and reattached them to the chair.
We made it, today is our 5th Wedding Anniversary. We bought this vase in a thrift shop for $12 earlier this month. Now I get to use it sooner than I thought I would to display these beautiful, bright roses from the bouquet my husband bought me to mark our milestone. Thank you husband and here's to the next 5 years!!
This vase is really heavy and such a great find. It is a Crystal Poland Mouthblown Hole in the Middle Vase (what a mouthful, lol!). We cannot find an original price for it but it must have cost a fair bit. If anyone know of it's value please drop me a line at johnstonaddison16@gmail.com
Kerb appeal is so important and this house is so lacking with the front of the house in it's current state!
Look at the difference!! It took 2 weekends (due to terrible weather - rain and snow) but we got the job almost done.
Now we just have to rake up a ton of leaves, roll on the weekend.
