ugly duckling chairs

 I found two of these ugly duckling chairs in Victoria - the second one is in pieces already

they cost me $6.99 for one & $7.99 for the other

the young man was not sure why the price difference

I wasn't sure why they were so cheap!

Some new upholstery (I didn't do it, that's why it looks so good!)

I found the indoor/outdoor fabric at Fabric Land at a 50% discount

had the cushions replaced with outdoor foam

 a lovely chalk paint finish on the wood with Benjamin Moore Antique Lace

and here they are...

I think they are too nice to go outside - but if they do

I won't have to worry about it!

chalk board chicken

the first thing I ever painted with chalk paint

the real stuff, like on blackboards

I saw the coolest chalk paint sheep in Chintz & Co a few years ago

but I was too cheap to buy it

So I found a terracotta chicken

and painted it myself
