My outdoor space

 

A few years ago, we were given this wicker set from a family member and I think it might be from around the 40's. The backs are curved and the arm rests are made so your arm sits in the groove perfectly. It's so different from the 2011 ones that I saw in the stores yesterday! Although, this one needs to be painted desperately...

Do you hear summer project...yes you do, and in fact I've been saying that each summer since we received the furniture. But this is the one. In a couple weeks I will show you the proper way to refinish/paint an o.l.d. wicker set. Any helpful tips? I would love to hear! 

{pillows/cushions/table and lantern are all from Pier 1 Imports}

Thanks for visiting my blog :) Love your green lantern!!! Can't wait to see what the chairs look like after you've painted them - what color are you thinking of painting them?
