My granddaughter and her husband are back from their honeymoon. They went to St Luces . Ted made this set of Adirondack chairs and foot stools for their wedding gift. Lynzie has asked for them before, we told her get married first. LOL. They are made of cedar and can be painted or stained or left to turn a natural gray.
This is not the actual set, but theirs is just the same. Ted uses the same pattern on all the sets he makes. You can see that tiny walkway we had that the grass grew over. So skinny, could not walk on that. That is where we made our all brick walkway, last year.
It is foggier than London , right now. We are waiting for the fog to burn off, to go. I for one do not like pulling a trailer in fog. Hope your day is fun. xo
Whoa, those are beautiful!!! They will love them. And if the don't, I can send them my postal address! Lol a really foggy day always reminds me of the musical Brigadoon.
ReplyDeleteThank you...I am glad others like them. Lynzie said she was going to love them for ever. That just touched my heart. xoxo,Susie
DeleteI would be torn about painting the adirondacks or letting them age gracefully. I think I would go with the aging in the end.
ReplyDeleteOur daughter stained her a really warm honey oak color. We let ours age naturally. That way you never have to scrap and paint every so often. xoxo,Susie
DeleteI cannot think of a better wedding present, you won't beleive this coincidence, Garry made the same chairs for us an he made them for his sisters wedding present too! Great minds think a like, I let ours age, five of them, they are down at our property, very comfy!!
ReplyDeleteLaurie, Our g.daughter said today, she would love them forever. Wasn't that sweet. We have some on the porch too...we let ours aged naturally. xxoxo,Susie
