I really like those colors...Must have took you awhile...

WoW! What a great job...painting all those spindles must have taken forever, but they turned out great! Your big wicker frogs are a hoot! Looks great!

You are a "patient painter", and it shows. That turned out wonderful. I love how it ties the porch vignette together.
GREAT job!

hugs, Karen

I love both of your chairs. They turned out great. you have more patience than I do.

What a great porch vignette! I love the colors and the happiness it brings!

Both chairs are GORGEOUS!! I envy anyone with the patience to paint so neatly AND a nice covered porch to keep those beauties from getting too weathered!

Beautiful group of goodies!! Love how you did the rocker!That was quite a chore, I'm sure changing colors! Love all the things you have done, now you can just spend the summer watching things grow & get even more beautiful!!Jan

Love the colors of this whole setting! Watering can with new painted rocker looks awesome! Great job...lots of work! Jeanne S.

These chairs look great and I know what it takes to paint one! I have been working on 3 chairs (it seems like FOREVER) and all the painting and drying and turning and painting......Well you get the idea. Lot of time!!!

You did a great job on your rocker. I like the way you painted the pattern and colors. Fits right in on you porch.

Sometimes husbands just don't get the big picture. Live your stuff and the way you painted the chairs.

msmitoagain, I just loked at your blog (once again) and saw the orange-flowering 'rattle box'. We had that in our yard when I was a child, and I loved it! Didn't know the name, however. I have been collecting seeds when I can find them, trying to get it to grow for me. So far no luck. And I live just about a half mile from where I grew up. I love it....I have seen a yellow one also. Thanks for showing them and telling me the name.

Hey nonacook,

Your welcome. From what I read, I thought those things grew easy. According to the below link, the seeds need to be allowed to dry on the plant. Were your's green when you picked them?

If you need some dry pods, I can send you some this fall. Let me know. These make a jillon seeds.

I've never seen a yellow one. Bet it was pretty.

I think it's too dry where I have been putting it...
Come to think of it, ours grew where the washing machine water drained. Mine drains into a septic tank. Says it likes water. My seeds were always dry when I picked them. But sometimes I might have forgotten and kept them too long before planting

You did an outstanding paint job! I love it! Both chairs look very welcoming! The enamelware was a great deal too! That stuff can be pricey!

Love the color combo you've done on both chairs. Not so bright & bold but enough contrast to set them apart. The whole vignette draws your eye to a usually dull, un-used corner of the porch.

What a beautiful job! I love everything you've done! BEAUTIFUL COLORS! An inviting scene!!! Thanks for sharing! Bear Hugs! Kirk

Very nice! Lots of detail work in painting the chairs duly noted. Great finds!

Very, very nice job. Love the combo of colors. Please tell your DH we all think you are very talented and not at all "off your rocker". LOL of course maybe we all are but at least we're happy!

I've started showing my DH some of the pics posted here and he's seeing that other people do unique garden decor also. He actually likes a lot of it!
