Art in my dinning room... :-)

My grandpa was born in 1912...
I remember when my grandma sent this picture away to have it colorized and enlarged when I was a kid.. -
It looks fake cause the color is sooo weird.. but its the real thing. -
He is sitting on a rocking horse.. I love this picture.

Old metal chairs brought back to life.

My first project this week was bringing 2 old metal chairs to life...- I wish I would have taken a before pic.- these chairs were rusty and needing a good paint job.-- I found these chairs in my moms house when she passed away and I decided to keep them and some day paint them a color that she would have enjoyed.. PURPLE!!!...(her favorite color)-
Here is the finished project on my back patio.
