And then, inspired by the above piece of furniture, I had the following conversation with my husband:
I'm pretty happy with the results.
Sure, the chain-link fence is still an eyesore, and the chair is nothing special (though it's super-comfortable, which is really the main point).
But for $4.37 (the price of a Benjamin Moore sample paint pot in "Poppy") I now have a nice place to drink an iced latte and do a little writing outside on a sunny afternoon.
And anyway, the view is grand.
That is an awesome awesome color. Well done :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I had been thinking I wanted a color somewhere between nasturtium and geranium, so when I saw this one was called poppy I figured it was meant to be.
ReplyDeleteCute table! I have those same drinking glasses-- discontinued from Crate & Barrel, right? If you got yours somewhere else that they still sell them, I'd love to hear!
ReplyDeleteDARCY!!! So great to see you! The drinking glass...um, I got it at a thrift store and only have one, it is my favorite glass though! But do a search for "Duralex Picardie glasses"--as far as I can tell the company went bankrupt a couple years ago but they now appear to be back, hurrah!
ReplyDeleteWow, how did you know to Google that?? Is it on the bottom of them, and I just never noticed?
ReplyDeleteI'm a faithful reader, just don't comment much :)
Not sure where I first heard that about Duralex...probably this just means that I spend too much time reading design blogs!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to know you're lurking around. :-) I suspect you can see that sometimes this blog is very Jen-influenced.
