Score!

For dinner last night, we decided to head over to our fav pizza place - Buono's.  Of course, I couldn't help but stop by Goodwill and see if there were any hidden treasures.  For the last year or so, I've been trying to find a bench to put between the front windows, with no success.  Sure, I could buy a new one for $100.  But no one will ever sit out there and I wasn't willing to spend that much.  

Lookie at what I found!


2 perfect chairs.  Ok, not so perfect.  They had some rust spots and one of the seats needed to be soldered. Like I cared about that.

A few minutes with a wire brush, 2 cans of RustOleum paint and now, they are perfect.  



We arranged the plants that had been out there around the new chairs.  I really, really loved how they turned out.  My cost?  $26 and I have some paint left over.  Might need a couple more plants to round it out.  Maybe a pillow on one of the chairs.  I also need to find something to hang on the wall between the windows, but that is another post.
