The Switch

My sister-in-law and I switched outdoor furniture. She gave me this great rattan loveseat and footstool, and I gave her two wicker chairs - Need I say, I got the best part of this deal!!!
The loveseat was a pinky-beige color so I gave it a quick spray of 2X glossy white ( only 1 can) to brighten it up:
Now I have to find a deal on outdoor fabric so that I can make new cushion covers!
But for now it's perfect - I tested it out today for a quick nap and it worked well!

    The white is great and something tells me you're going to live in that sofa this summer. Nice lines, too. A good swap. Jane

    Great furniture! I bet you will find some great fabric for it.

    Thanks for the nice comments on the granite! We love it! You might be right about those corbels...the granite comes out about 13 inches. I'm sure it would be fine with no support. I am going to see what the iron looks like and go from there. Thanks for your visit!! Kristen

    I would totally take a nap on your loveseat! I can't wait to see how it looks after you've made the custom cushion covers.
