Before/After Swing

Remember when I bought this swing  at an estate sale a couple of months ago?Porch Swing
I knew it was a diamond in the rough...
 So with a bit of scrubbing, some black spray paint and a trip to the store for some cushions....whalaa... My Refurbished SwingSuch a peaceful place to sit each morning as I spend a few moments swaying back and forth while drinking hot cocoa in this corner of my garden.

When you showed me this at the estate sale I had my doubts. I won't forget the long walk to your house as we carried that swing on our backs. You turned mangled metal and bolts into a thing of beauty K! Love your K cup.

Fantastic! I knew you would create a wonder... when can I come swing on it?

You are welcome any time... Hey Martha, check out the mosaic topped table underneath the K cup...found it buried underneath the ivy in the other side of the garden...perfect spot for it now.

Beautiful!! And that pillow really looks like a huge hydrangea on the swing!
