Hello Long Weekend! What better way to kick start it than with a thrifty find. I have been looking for a small wicker bistro style set for a couple of weeks and finally scored on Kijiji. I wanted to add some seating to our long deck that runs along side of our house. We use this deck daily as it is our main entrance. It is so long and narrow that we have never utilised the rest of the space. I thought it would be great to have some small, simple seating right off the main door rather than have to venture down the stairs, along the house to the back patio. And then, there is was on Kijiji. Originally, they were asking $50 for three chairs and the table. The set needed some TLC, so I thought I would low ball an offer of $30. They accepted (insert happy dance). On Thursday I popped into town to have a look before we sealed the deal. One of the three chairs was really damaged so I left it behind and settled at $25!! After a few minor repairs and reinforcements it was ready for paint. A couple of coats of Tremclad spray paint in glossy black and a stained top brought this set back to life. The old cushions from our patio set fit perfectly for extra cushion.
I know where I'll be enjoying my next morning coffee!
