My 'new' garden set. I wanted to wait and take the photos outside but, its been raining since I finished them. So, I set it up in the living room just for pictures. For those who haven't read the previous blog on this. Jimmy and I have been looking for furniture for the veranda and the stuff that is being sold to the general public...... is just butt-ugly. So, I took a graffitied small table from my studio (found in a back alley of the u-district) and a couple of chairs that I bought from goodwill about 6 years ago. I took them apart and painted them and recovered the chair seats in some vinyl leftover from one of Jimmy's halloween costumes from a couple of years ago. I painted them with oil based enamel 'farm and tractor' paint. This paint is great.... very hard, very waterproof. I am pleased with the end product. I think it is charming and garden-y.
