All the pieces to the back of the chair were there, but in really bad shape. I loved the peely, chippy look of the chair and decided not to paint it. |
H sawed off the back of the chair, applied a few coats of poly to seal the chippy paint..... |
Added a vintage TV tray to the top.... |
and we have a sweet little table to have a glass of tea on in the greenhouse! |
I have a couple of other new additions to the green house. I repurposed a baby changing table....it is now a place to set plants on the top shelf and the next two shelves are for odds and ends. I put a burlap skirt around it to hide the "odds & ends".
I planted a tomato plant and some heirloom chives in a big bucket. I added a cute turtle for some whimsey and a solar light for fun. |
We needed a large bucket to put this tomato plant in....it's going to get pretty big! We found these 5 gal pails at Lowes for less than $3. I added a burlap bow to dress them up a little |
I planted some spinach, radish, and dill seeds in the containers that are on the top shelf of the potting table. I can't wait to start picking some fresh veggies! http://betweennapsontheporch.net/ http://www.alifeinbalance.net/motivation-monday-linky-party-84/ http://www.the-chicken-chick.com/2014/03/clever-chicks-blog-hop-79-with-two.html http://www.create-with-joy.com/2014/03/inspire-me-monday-week-116.html http://www.yourhomebasedmom.com/inspiration-monday-linky-party-6/ http://www.flourmewithlove.com/2014/03/mix-it-up-monday_23.html?

Penny,
ReplyDeleteAlways love a Trash to Treasure project.
You're a girl after my own heart!
Thank you for inspiring us.
Hope you will pop over for a visit. Just posted a new trash to treasure project.
Have a lovely week!
Elizabeth
I'm glad you rescued the chair and turned it into something useful!
ReplyDeleteПрелесть, так красиво и уютно!
ReplyDeleteYou would have loved the chairs I tossed that were broken. I bet you would have made some lovely tuff!!
ReplyDeleteThat chair is now your treasure, amazing transformation! Way to go!
ReplyDeleteIncredible transformation! You are unique! From trash to treasure as you wrote.

I love your Greenhouse and all of the treasures you added….beautiful!
ReplyDeletedear penny, i always love to see what's new in your beautiful home! i really like your new potting shed...almost makes me want to garden...Ha Ha! i love the changing table re-do, you seldom see those re-purposed. the burlap looks so sheer and breezy, not what i usually think of with burlap and the yellow and white birdhouse is really stunning! i love it!
ReplyDeletePenny, I had to smile when I read this. It's always so much fun to find someone else that does the same things I do. I found and old chair and used it as a planter and now it's so covered that all you can see is just the back...which I love..chippy..and red..I probably should have put a protective coat on it but it's a bit late now. I love your little greenhouse "old chair" table..it's perfect! The green house just gets cuter and cuter! I enlarge every picture as I don't want to miss a single detail! :)
ReplyDeletegreat additions to your greenhouse....love the chair redo! Happy VTT
ReplyDeletewhat a great save! You know I love your greenhouse. We can;t wait to start planting in our garden. Thank you for linking and sharing your sweet blog at the Thursday Favorite Things blog hop ♥
ReplyDeleteLove the idea with the stool and the tray! Thanks for sharing on the Thursday Blog Hop!!
ReplyDeleteIt is great when someone has an eye for junk and makes into something nice. Great idea and perfect addition to your greenhouse.
ReplyDeletePenny,
ReplyDeleteI am loving your greenhouse! you and your DH are amazing at what you accomplish together! And SO creative!
You make things so lovely.
hugs,
Betsy
I love what you guys have done!
ReplyDeleteMy Hubby would never allow me to dumpster dive....and so much has been thrown away!
Thanks for the fun....
