The constant heavy rain yesterday and the heat today didn't keep me from picking up several great pieces for future projects.
The first thing I picked up was a metal garden seat for $15.00. It will get a coat or two of black spray paint in a satin finish to match my patio furniture. I am also mulling over the idea of adding a top to make it more of a small table than a seat.
My sister has this same garden seat in white. I think the original price ran around 50 bucks.
The second items that I picked up were two wrought iron candle holders. The wrought iron matches the wrought iron details on the outside of the house. I have several ideas for outdoor candles but will have to wait until I decide which type of candles I want to use before I can fine tune my ideas. The candle holders were 5 bucks for the two of them.
Finally, I picked up some very heavy cast iron pieces for a bench. It is missing the wood slats but that is not a big deal. We can always use more seating out in the yard and this should be perfect. Again, I will spray paint the cast iron parts in black spray paint in a satin finish. The wood slats will be painted dark grey to match the house. I am hoping that we can find wood in our scrap pile but the pickings are getting very slim when it comes to lumber in 1X thickness. Also, I think it needs to be clear pine because any wood with knots will not work. Clear pine in 1X4 is relatively inexpensive so that is a plus. The cast iron bench pieces were $40 for all of them.
