You all know that I'm obsessed and in love with the vintage metal lawn and porch furniture. I have quite a few and I'm so excited about starting their makeovers.
I scored this vintage metal chair in the pie crust pattern and I was so thrilled! I am a CVT (certified veterinary technician) and I just started working part time with a house call vet that moved to our town. I went on a house call with her and the patient (dog) was in this back shed. I was thinking that I might spot something good in her shed and in the back of this dark and dingy garden shed, I spotted it! I was so giddy! We finished our work on her dog and I worked up the courage to ask her if she would be interested in selling the chair to me. She said I could have it!! I couldn't believe my luck! I was ecstatic!
I grabbed it and we fit it into the back of the vet's SUV.
I started the stripping and sanding process. Here are a couple of "progress" photos.
Lucky you! Those are the best chairs in the world! I loved them when I was a kid. If you ever decide you have too many, let me know! ; )

They are the most comfortable chairs and gliders. I just love them! I'll let you know for sure! I spotted some outside of Indian Oaks the other night and I think they were $20 if that interests you. :)
