~Before and After~

Written by Sue, Sunday, May 6, 2012                               it has become sunny and warmer. high 70's
A few months ago, dh went to an estate auction, looking for some farm equipment, instead he came back with two of these, look at the seat, the chair pad evidently had rubber backing and it had been there so long that it was stuck to the chair. What a mess I had,
I scraped and scraped, and scraped some more, and then I sanded and sanded and sanded some more, and then....

I painted and painted and painted some more, quite a difference isn't it. I was so pleased at how they both turned out, sorry I didn't get a picture of both finished rockers. What they need now are some pretty new pillows.
He also bought an old oak swing... I hope to be working this week on the swing. We are going to replace the chains too.  We have so many projects going at once, it's a wonder we get anything completed.~grin~ While at this auction he managed to pick up a few more items.... a coffee pot, and old AT makeup case that needs a lot of cleaning., hmmmm,maybe by Christmas! I almost forgot, he paid $15.00 for these antique rockers, not bad, Ehh!

You know what they say about the Energy Bunny, the one that keeps right on going, well our strawberries, keep right on giving and giving, they are in their peak season and that keeps me busy too. This is what I picked Saturday....

Thanks for stopping by, you are always so welcome, enjoy your week.
Blessings,
Sue
