So since the deck is the only bit of anything that's been going on lately as far as home projects go, I figured it's about time for a few pictures.
Pictures! Hooray! Wow, we want them now!
Okay, okay, I know everyone is just dying to see some of the home purchases we've made lately. But patience is a virtue, indeed. My parents have been cleaning out their house of unwanted furniture, etc, so we've gotten the brunt of their castoffs. All very exciting business to us, really. We also went down to Warren for the PTF (yes, it's important enough for an acronym) - laymans = Pink Tomato Festival. We actually did more antiquing than festivaling, neither of which included air conditioning, sadly. We made a few purchases there and brought back a wicker chair from home. When we got back we actually found a neat desk chair via Craigslist, so that got added to the mix very quickly. Okay, I know. Stop freaking out already. Here are pictures, sheesh....
Our antiquing loot:
We got these two Coca Cola boxes at two different stores downtown for the great total of $25. Quite a steal when you consider purchasing them from Pottery Barn for $40 apiece, and then you aren't guaranteed Coca Cola. You could end up with - gasp - a Pepsi crate! The bottom one is older, and the words are actually branded into the wood.
The wicker chair from home:
Is now Sherbert Green:
The question now is, which pillow to purchase for it? Help me decide:
I'm favoring either the yellow/white stripe or yellow patterned one on the bottom right, but I also have my eye on the green/red/white combo on the bottom row.
And last but not least, the antique desk chair from Craigslist (a steal at $80):
