I'm in love with vintage metal porch and lawn furniture. I love the different patterns, the looks of the furniture, and I love that each piece has so much history. I want to know who the family was that enjoyed sitting on their porch on these chairs and gliders, sipping their lemonade and enjoying a sunny afternoon.
Here is my new glider that my dad found on a front porch. He went to the door and asked if the man wanted to sell it and he did.
I would love to find out what the name of this pattern is. I've searched the internet and can't find anything. I found one site where they called it wagon wheel, but I don't think that's right. It doesn't fit with the retro look and the leaves. I found one on another site and it's named after the paint color that they had painted it. I can't find any books on only vintage metal porch/lawn furniture. If anyone knows of any, I would appreciate the info.
Here is my basket weave rocker
My pinhole matching chairs
Now I just have to decide what colors I'll use on all of them.
Paint them the purple color of the trim in the house! Very pretty! :)

Love the glider! I'd go with a contrasting color to set them off, but I do goofy color stuff like that. :) I kinda like the original teal of the glider, myself. With some burnt orange cushions...oh, that would look great on my back porch! lol
