Bamboo and China Seas

 

I found two wonderful bamboo chairs at a shop right down the street from our house.

So close, in fact, I carried them home one by one.

Two for twenty-five dollars, you can't beat that.

I painted one by hand with high gloss white paint.

And sprayed the other with a white lacquer.

To tell you the truth, they look about the same.

Spray painting is sure easier though.

Then I came across this China Seas Aga in a turquoise

for a fraction of its original price (thank heavens).

I once again carried the chairs one at a time back downtown.

We are so lucky to have a very talented and very, very

reasonable seamstress in town.

I adore these chairs.

Don't you think they came out great?

Nothing more fun than a bargain that

that ends up

looking like a million bucks.
