This is the follow up to my last Thursday’s Vintage Thingies. I wanted to show how these two adirondack chairs came out since I hadn’t finished them at the time of that post.
They were curb finds that I repaired with help from my husband. He made a new arm for the one and I repaired the backs of both of them. We also had a rotten leg that we reinforced with new wood and I primed and painted them red.

Great job! Absolutely love the red. Some people can visualize what something could be and others cannot – count your lucky stars.

Hi Teresa~~ What is wrong with people? Well, their folly is your jackpot. They’re awesome. Time to start paying attention to the neighborhood sidewalks.

They came out great. I wouldn’t have a clue how to fix something like that up, so I would be the one who would throw them away!

I’m so happy to see the outcome of those fabulous chairs! No, I can’t believe someone threw them out, but their loss is your gain! One man’s trash is another woman’s treasure. You get the idea! They turned out magnificent! Love the red you chose too!
Happy VTT!

Beautifully done!

No, I cannot believe they were trashed! You did a really nice job, and I love the vintage red metal chairs in the backround of the one photo too!

Sadly, yes, I can believe someone threw those chairs out. So glad you found them and fixed ‘em up! Looks fantastic!
