From Chair To Planter
I had gotten this cute little chair for 5 dollars at my favorite thrift several months ago. It was very old, and in perfect condition. That is, until my son moved back home, and took to sitting on it. This tiny chair with the cane seat, was not meant to be sat in by my 6'5", 215 pound son.
So, I tore out the cane seat. Painted it a pretty aqua. And now....I.....LOVE......IT!!!
However, this is not how I am planting it. I want to put a much more shallow pot in the seat, filled with yellow flowers. Maybe daisies. Maybe something else.
I was also considering painting it a pretty green. But I wound up with this aqua. Wait til you see what I did with this.
Snacker is doing better and better! Thank you, to all of you.....for your kind words and yes, even prayers for a chicken!!!

We have sister chairs! Yours is the exact color I was going to paint mine, before she became yellow. I love yours! I have a little metal table outside that I'm going to be painting today. I have aqua and green spray paint, not sure which way I'm going. Hugs to Snacker.

I love that planter! You did a great job! And I am so glad Snacker is much better. It is so cute how you like her and how she has taken to you. Have a great weekend!
Love the chair. Very pretty color. I have seen a similar chair painted and distressed, placed in a garden with a pot on seat as you have shown with morning glories planted at feet climbing up and around the chairs legs. Stunning!
