I can,t believe your Neighbour didn,t want that lovely chair , well done for treating it and painting it Jacque , I have a thing about chairs , I love them ...

Hi Amy i remember u saying u love Chairs & your Hubby has stopped u Buying any more cos u dont have room/Space for them :)

As usual, your DIY skills amaze me, Jacque! It's looking sooooo good.

Thanx Spritz im plez`d u like it:) its become a feature in My Formal Garden :)

Features = good! :-)

Actually, we have a garden seat which I've just uncovered. I've decided it's no longer going to be covered up, but am going to put it in the garden for everyday use. I'm a bit shocked coz there were some holes in the green plastic cover and quite a bit of the wood has got wet. I've now left it out to dry and will "bully" my hubby (not really!!) into staining it. Did you use a stainer? Does it have any sort of wood preservative in it? I think that's what our garden bench needs. It's over 10 years old but like you said of your neighbour, hardly ever used. That's gonna change!! Thanks for the inspiration Jacque!!

Hi CNr I gave it a good Rub with some Sand Paper Then Painted it with a Water Based Wood Stain :) U can buy other Wood Stains In Many colours now so your spolit for choice :) Hope ul post some Pics of b4& after as itl be great to see :)

Thats a great job you've done there J, maybe you should take up resoration,

Great job Jacque, looks really well, if i'd known you where painting garden furniture you could have done my new shed, and saved me a job doing it.

O wow, what a charming, wonderful chair, I love it, good job on saving it!! all you need now is a nice cocktail and a good read, with a bit of sunshine :-)

Lovely chair.....looks even lovelier now though.....good job there Jacque.

That looks great Jacque. A nice comfy cushion with some lovely bright flowers on it, a good book and a glass of wine. Perfect.

I have a couple of chairs in need of your attention Jaque my son already took a hammer to one though - might be better for firewood now. Love yours though.
