Over the past few months, I have worked on a few projects for my booth.  Here are a few before and after photos.  Thankfully most have already sold but the blue table is still available.

Vintage Glider Set

Published on by Nana's Yellow House1 Comment

Last summer we found a vintage glider and 2 chairs for sale on a local social media site for $150. Being a lover of all things vintage, I jumped at the chance to breathe new life in these pieces. They were in good shape with very little rust (the brown is paint over the original green paint).

Glider Before
The glider is a basket-weave pattern; we took the glider apart and tried to sand it ourselves but it turned out to be a bigger job than we had planned on. We decided to take it to a local shop to be professionally blasted and powder-coated. I believe they charged us about $170 but they did not take out the dent in front (but we did not ask them to so we can’t fuss too much).
Chairs before
The chairs are a double-wedding band pattern.  As much as I wish they matched the glider, I am in LOVE with this pattern.

The transformation is more that we could’ve hoped for.

The professional blasting and powder-coating job.  We placed it on the front porch and it is just what it needed!
Chairs after.
Our job: painted and put back together. We purchased primer, paint, and new replacement nuts, bolts, and washers.

I have to give it to my husband; he did an outstanding job! I think I will keep him around!

Shout out to Hobson Powder Coating in West Monroe, LA for the amazing work on the glider!
