Hi Friends~
Yesterday I shared with you my treasure hunt haul
and this wonderful vintage chair was among that loot!
I could not believe my luck when I found this treasure.
It was just what I was looking for to makeover for the garden holding a potted flower.
It is sturdy, has great details and just the right size.
So I began the makeover
by taking out the seat
which revealed a perfect size opening to hold a flower pot!!
Next I gave the chair a dry brushing
with honeysuckle bloom.
I wanted the old finish to show through
and look distressed at the same time.
I used a stencil brush for the dry brushing.
Look how the details really pop with this technique!
The opening fit a flower pot perfectly.
And here it is in the little meditation garden with
St. Francis!
Love, Love!!
A coat of varnish so it will last
and enjoying the addition.
Remember the oval flower basket
I also found on the treasure hunt?
It holds these two darling
Daddy's Little Girl Rose pots.

Thanks for stopping by today.
See you next time with more
Southern DayDreams
from Texas.
Ya'll Be Good!!

Oh how lovely and I am so envious that you can put things like that outdoors and they can LAST. Way, way too much rain here.
Love the detail on that chair! It looks so good in your garden too! I have never heard of those roses, but I absolutely love them!
Your chair in the garden bursting with color is wonderful.
I wonder if I can find an old chair?
It turned so lovely and adorable in your garden! :)
I love that the flowers you picked for that chair is lovely!
Blessing to you my friend.

You did that quick, Celestina Marie. I love how it turned out. I love chairs in a garden and this one is perfect-especially because the right sized opening was already there!
Your gardens are so pretty- xo Diana
Your chair is great! Wish I knew how to do all the different paint techniques! I have a whole shelf of stuff to paint! Your meditation garden is so pretty!
Celestina Marie - What a great job you did on that chair for your garden - which, by the way, looks fantastic.

I love the details in this chair Celestina. It's just beautiful in your garden. Our flowers here are just barely starting to poke out of the ground, so it's wonderful to see your pretty garden! Thank you for sharing at What We Accomplished Wednesdays. Have a great week!
Blessings,
Deborah
