Don't mind the seamless green screen---working on a different project
Three weeks ago I purchased a set of 4 iron chairs to go in my backyard for $39 each. They are wing-backed in style with great fret work. They need a little cleaning up, a coat of paint and some cushions. Oh how I wish Laura from ShorehouseChic lived on this coast—she is a seamstress extraordinaire!
Continuing on my roll, after the holidays I stopped in at a local nursery. I was desperate for all white cyclamen for my front window box. My decorative cabbage had perished in the frost earlier and I had guests coming over. Isn’t that how it always happens you walk past the dried-up and shriveled plant for days thinking “I gotta take care of that” then your hosting a last minute dinner party and you send your son out into the cold to re-plant.
“Seriously, Mom. Who is gonna see it? It’s gonna be dark and it’s freezing out there,” said my youngest. Freezing??? C’mon you don’t know freezing. Try winter in Connecticut. I did that once and I learned my lesson. The next winter was spent in Florida. I kid you not.
“Never-mind that. Plant away—you can warm up when you’re done” I replied, with a chilly tone in my voice. And here is the part you have all come to know about me and hopefully find it quite endearing—I digress. So, back to the nursery, I spied a little one light chandelier for $5. You can’t walk away from a 5 dollar chandelier. It will be perfect on my front porch! 
So my point is and yes I do have one—I’m on a roll finding the perfect thing for my home at a super cheap inexpensive price! This weekend Move It Elsewhere is having their once a month sale and I’m going. I feel like I can’t miss. I’m not sure what I will find or what I need to transform my living space, but one thing I do know I’m on a roll!

I am flattered. I’m really more of a “stumbling seamstress.”
Now…on to more important matters…THOSE CHAIRS!! What I would give for them. You got a deal and a half. And that FIVE DOLLAR mini chandie? Oh my. You definitely get a thrifty gold star. I am so impressed (and a tad jealous, if I’m honest.
OMG- i love those chairs!
wow, what a price tag…
For a pop modern vibe, Trina Turk has fab indoor/outdoor fabric, and Duralee has even more small prints suitable for any environment.
I do upholstery and cushions too.
Lmk if you need a quote
Val≈ I’d love a quote for cushions. I think I might paint the chairs a poppy color–I like the idea of something bright and the cushions could be more on the mellow side…Oh who knows I’m totally open to any and ALL suggestions! Thanks for your offer!
