The vintage shell back patio chairs have been redone...

I have no idea where to put them yet and well, it's just way too HOT outside to work it out right now.
It's 102 here right now and, "I'm mmmeeellltttiiinnnnggggggggggggg....."

I'm reay for snow ~ jeeze...
I would settle for rain though please???

All these beautiful, redone, patio chairs and it's TOO HOT outside to enjoy them right now...

These vintage shell back chairs received a coat of primer and a fresh new coat of 'antique white' paint. And, of course some custom, homemade cushions...

The interior cushion is made out of a canvas, painting drop cloth that's plastic lined. I got it on clearance at Ace Hdwe. one day for $2, so what the hey... The cushion slip cover is out of the same outdoor material as my last Vintage Patio Chair Redo The neat thing about doing the inside cushion out of a plastic lined canvas drop cloth is that when you stand up, the cushion puffs back up full of air and the stuffing inside the cushion won't get wet. The slip covers can be thrown in the wash, another plus...

~Yes, you're welcome for that little tip & trick...~

This is what they looked like before...



And, the after...

I think they turned out wonderful~!


And, they match all the rest of the patio furniture in the yard...
I went with 'antique white paint' so they don't burn anybody sitting down in them, when they're in direct sun.


I put little 'ties' on the sides too, so the wind doesn't blow the cushions away.
You know how Utah is ~ It has 3 seasons; Wind, July & Winter...
~We take precautions for the "wind" here~


The chairs cost me $6 for the set at the thrift store -
 They took me 1 can of primer and 2 cans of spray paint = Approx. $10
1 canvas painters drop cloth = $2
2 yards of material @ $5 a yard = $10

TOTAL COST ~ $28

Plus a bit of my time...

This was a quick, fun, redo~
