I've not had chance to post for a while cos I've been pretty busy of late with work, but in my spare time one of my projects has been painting our new garden seat!
We were in a garden centre a while ago & saw a beautiful arbour seat & fell in love with it... but not with the price tag!
As the weather has been really nice of late & he was looking for a project my husband offered (yes, offered, no forcing necessary) to build us one as it would be about a quarter of the price and it could be made to a size we wanted...
So the deal was, he would build it and I would paint it :) That lattice was a nightmare to paint so I think the work load was shared equally ;-)
Here it is in various stages of construction ...
And finally...
I found these cushions & although they are a little small, I think the colours work really well so I'm looking for something larger to go with them..Perfect spot for catching up on my interior mags I reckon...? :)
Now, all we need is for that warm weather to come back ... :)
Hope everyone is having a good week!
