Antibes Green Garden Bench
Wednesday, June 15, 2011 at 2:18PM
I found these cute old chairs at a garage sale for next to nothing. The seats were missing out of them and I was going to replace them and upholster them, but they spoke to me and and wanted to be something new and different. With a little bit of new wood and some creative mistakes these sad old chairs have a new life. The bench has be painted and distressed. I sealed it with a polyurethane and it is now ready for a new home in the garden. If you love it, contact me at

I was checking out the feature of my birdbath when I saw your bench. :) I made one recently very similar to yours.

Followed over from Funky Junk. Love this idea of re-using those chairs. I find these around a lot lately. I think the change from the floral decorating of a few years ago has prompted some to ditch their chairs. Now yours have a new life.
I love these! What a wonderful and creative idea! Thank you for sharing it! Don't know if I will ever have the courage to try to do it, but I hope so!
I really like this idea. I have two old chairs and I can't wait to turn them into a bench. Thank you so much for the inspiration.
I love this!!! In addition to the structure, I like the paint and finish.
This is brilliant!
Love this bench. I am pretty crafty so now I want to go hunting and make one for myself!
Those are my dining room chairs. WOW.
I love this bench and would so love to be able to make one. I am riddled with arthritis now so its not possible sadly. The green is so bright and cheery.
Love this bench and have been looking for one in my new entry. I had some made out of my kids baby bed for each of them and they are really cute. Need to do this for me. Thanks!
