    Default My weekend project

    I just scored an old fashioned outdoor wicker table set with all 4 chairs in great condition for $10.00!

    This weekend I am going to recover the cushions in a different color, and paint the entire set white to give it a new feeling. I'm so excited about my find!

    Great bargain! It will look great. Are you putting it on your porch or in your house? I love wicker either place. I am always on the lookout for a nice wicker set for my back deck. It just makes me think of lazy days on the verandah with a cool glass of lemonade (or a nice glass of Sangria ) visiting with family and friends.

    Oh, I love wicker! What a great find!

    Keep hoping I'll get a deal like that... would love to find a single chair for my reading corner. Did you find your set at a yard sale or from a friend? The only pieces I've seen are very expensive & not in great condition.

    I've always wanted a white wicker set like that. Good for you, have fun fixing it up. We'd love to see pics.

    I love wicker too, excellent deal. Are they white or natural color?
    I bet it will look great when they're redone in new material. Let us know how, take a pic, cant wait to see.
