We grabbed a tricycle for Caleb at a yard sale for $2! Even though it was in rough shape, the pedals and wheels all worked great so I decided to take the challenge of making it look as good as new. This is part one of the makeover:
Before:
What I used:
After:
The next step is to work on all that red that has faded. Speaking of fading, have you seen this awesome stuff that's supposed to keep outdoor plastics from fading??? I am grabbing a bottle to spray on all of Caleb's outdoor toys! I found it at Sherwin Williams.
I also need your help! I found two of these wing back chairs at a thrift store. They are vintage but it looks like they've never been sat in. They are literally in brand new condition. They are a soft yellow velvet. I had been wanting a couple for the new house we are moving to next month and these are $30 each. Do you like them? Or should I keep looking? You can be honest, I promise not to cry :)
I love the look of these wing back chairs and I'm hoping to do go for a similar look if I get the yellow ones!

Great post today! You inspire me to thrift more! I say get the chairs! They're hard to find, especially in a set. You will beautify them :)
I totally think you should get the chairs! They look great! :)
I like the chairs. If they work in your house, with your "theme" then they will be fantastic. They certainly have character and look great!
If I were you, I'd grab those chairs up!
I can't wait to hear if you got these! I think they're a great find, though not quite my style. loved your inspiration pics!
Get the chairs! I went thrift-ing today and finds like those chairs are few and far between! Plus I love that velvet fabric =)
