My new chairs...all planted!

Last weekend I picked up three dining room chairs at a church rummage sale. I was thrilled with their color and chippy goodness! As soon as I got home, I removed the seats and got busy scrounging up some galvanized and enamel pots to see if I had any that would fit.

Everything was close, but not perfect. So Kevin put some metal straps under the buckets to hold them to the chairs-ta da-perfect!

They are sitting at the front of my house in a spot that used to hold two giant bushes that got pulled out at Easter time. Now I just have to weed and throw down some mulch and it will look a LOT better.

Have you ever used old dining chairs for flowers? I LOVE the look. I had an old chippy white chair that I got for $1 and used it on my deck for a good 3 or 4 years before the weather wore it out. It was my favorite planter every year. so I am super thrilled to have these chairs.
