I ♥ these old high-backed chairs—sO comfy!
–well, maybe they’re not -OLD- I bought them at Pier 1 in ’99.
They went from my bedroom patio, directly to storage after my house sold, and they sure don’t look so good–WoW!
So I’m repairing, repainting, and making cushions for them.
*Don’t know if you’re aware that –Vinyl spray paint–is better for wicker. IT FLEXES, so to speak.
*The forward chair is already worked over!

You can see I’ve already begun to make repairs to the second. I decided to use construction adhesive to just re-secure the weavings.

I love wicker – these look great!
I once saw this “plastic” wicker set that was supposed to last a lifetime.
It looked from afar, just like the real thing. I don’t know what to think about it.
It seems good to use recycled bottles to make something new, but the “flavor” of it seems off.
