Finds!

Remember last week....I told you I found amazing things at an estate sale? The BEST estate sale I have ever been to.

Five estates in one. I took Dave. I always like to take Dave. We don't do date night on Friday anymore. We do Saturday date morning. Leaving the children behind at home with the promise of donuts when we return. He and I shop well together. We go back and forth. Do we need it? What can we do with it? Is the cost worth it? Or at that price can we pass it up? But with these two items...we didn't even have to ask each other...we both just knew.

We have been working on a spa-like sunbathing area in our backyard, because I ♥ the sun more than anything. We had plans of building a trellis above the lounge chairs complete with curtains tied back on either side. When we found these turned posts in all their chippy goodness we knew the size was perfect and that it would add a bit of charm to the backyard. They fit perfectly in the post holders that were already cemented in place. It was meant to be. Now we just need to design a trellis top for them!

This style of metal chair has been on my wish list for a few years now. I almost screamed in delight when I asked how much they cost and the lady said $10 each. Scream! Clap hands and quickly announce 'SOLD' before anyone else snatched them up at that price. Now I have to decide what color to paint them. They need to be cleaned up a bit so they last a long time.

I'm kind of thinking along the lines of yellow, red, turquoise or even a really pretty cream keeping them simple. But I am up for suggestions. What color would you paint them?
