D * I * Y fever

I think I have officially become a DIY junkie.  I don't know how many cans of spray paint I have been through in the last few weeks, but I probably should have bought stock in the spray paint business. 

The project I finished yesterday and am the MOST PROUD OF!!! was inspired by Censational Girl ~ one of my new very favorite bloggers.  She refinished some old, grimy chairs and turned them into these beauties.  You can read about them and see the before and afters here:

 *Spring Green Cottage Chairs*

Well, I decided after seeing these, that something similar would be just the thing I had been looking for to put on our bare front porch.  So I headed off to the local thrift store. 

I hit the jackpot! 

I found two of these old worn out chairs and took them home for a grand total of $8.

I took the seat off and recovered it.

I ripped out that webbing on the back of the chair and had my sweet hubby

cut me some pieces of wood and attach them to the back...

and then I sanded and painted and sanded again until I had my super cute chairs! 

I sat them out on the front porch with another little thrift store find (the table) that I painted antique white and then added some red and blue touches for the upcoming holiday.

I'm a sucker for red~white~and~blue. . .

Perfect, aren't they???!!!!
