Turquoise chairs from Target

Aren't they a pretty color?  Vintage inspired folding chairs !
I painted the small table years ago ( to go with another patio ) now I'm wondering if black is ok? )

12.99 each here in Canada - which probably means they're a dollar in the States....................

We've been digging out weeds from the brick work for days.................SO DON'T LOOK AT THAT, OK? ( would I sound like a spoiled brat if I told you I don't like the color of the brick they chose ? )
Get a life Suzan - really - just get a life.

I was missing the chairs for that little table ( think I gave them away ages ago ) so when I saw these ( only 2 of them left ) I jumped all over them :)

They sort of tie in with the 2 I painted last week (  HERE )

I love the cut out detail on them

Suzan says - I hope they rust up sitting outside
John says - Excuse me?
Suzan says - I want them to get a little rust on them - turquoise and rust are so perfect together
John says - That's the most ridiculous thing you've said this week

I noticed last night he folded them up and put them away - I ran out a little later and put them back - and prayed for rain.................it didn't.

Want to see the difference a week or 2 can make?

BEFORE

Do you see that white chair in the background?

John says - Did you tell everyone what I scored - or just the things you do ?
Suzan says - You really want me to tell them?
John says - Yes, I do, why should you get all the credit.................
John says - Tell them mine are more practical
John says - Tell them mine won't rust
Suzan says - Relax mister..........they're okay - but mine are pretty
John says - MINE are functional

John went out to pick up the paper on the weekend and passed by a garage sale and bought 5 of those chairs for 25.00 - 5.00 each -  he LOVES them because they recline all the way back

Soda's seat matches everything too don't you know?

There's a little window in one of the bedroom's upstairs - and every single morning I run to it to see how the pool is doing ( from a bird's eye view )

Then I run downstairs - put the kettle on - and run outside ( like a kid on Christmas morning, seriously ) 

If you're looking for me I'll be sitting here.

and gazing at this

 which is so close to being done I can taste it ( but I won't because it would taste like chlorine ) 

I've only ever had above ground pools - this seems so luxurious to me ( with a house that's literally falling apart in the background LMHO ) but if I sit at a certain angle and concentrate really hard - than this is all I see - not bad for a break in reno's, right?

Ok everyone - get to Target - there are chairs with your name on them !!!
And I know you must be sick of seeing my outside by now - so I promise - cross my heart and hope to die that I will have a makeover on Thursday...................and I'm going to look for the most special of special
IWLTW's tomorrow


I'll be at these parties !!!
