I found this chair at a thrift store for $5.00
and wanted to make a miniature garden in it.
I had Stan cut the center out.
After seeing how it looked,
I changed my mind with the
colander in the center.
So I decided to place
chicken wire and then moss.
I painted it with
Lowe's ultra white paint.
Stan used the staple gun to place
chicken wire in the center.
Then I added the moss, then filled it with soil.
I filled it with flowers and
added some special touches.
This is our front door which I love painted black.
It shows off all your decorations
for all the holidays.
The bird garland I got from Summers Past Farms.
This is a photo before the
garden chair was added.
The black chandelier gives
you a little whimsy.
The new garden chair adds
that extra touch
for the front porch.
It all comes together walking to the front door.
Love how it turned out.
Can you see in the window,
my DREAM sign in the house?
Thank you everyone that participated in my
first linky party, Simple & Sweet Fridays.
Hope to see more creative ideas this week!
What a lovely idea. I just love the chair and the flowers.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by today.
hi Jody and Stan ... so happy to see the Mr. involved in your blog. I so love your door and the chandelier. Hope it is protected from the weather. Oh how I would love to do that. I have one on my porch, but not very pretty. Will remedy that soon.
ReplyDeleteThe chair is a great addition. Thanks for stopping by Timeless Treasures and leaving a nice comment and for being a follower.
Blessings.

ReplyDeleteStunning!, Great idea! I have so many broken chairs, have to try this, love the name of your blog, my garden is named "Forever in Thyme",

ReplyDeleteSweet little seat you've got there and the seat watcher bunny.

I have been planning to make a chair like this and I love it! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteLove what you did with the chair. I have a couple of old cottage chairs out in my yard which I purchased for a couple of dollars at our local auction house. The chair looks so good on your front porch.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.

Yours is delightful---my three are mere wrought-iron, once yellow, and faded to pale. They're round, and somehow were the perfect size to drop in the three huge pots I already had.
ReplyDeleteThe entire porch is simply charming---I DO love the whimsy of an outdoor chandelier!
What a cute idea! I like the door black. The chair is so colorful with the flowers.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to get some flowers.

Nice project. How did you attach the chicken wire to the chair? Staple gun? Nails?
ReplyDeleteYour garden chair is very very cute. Great job on the re-do. Your home looks very inviting and fresh with spring.
