I have several wooden Antique Chairs that I have had many, many years. I enjoy decorating with them, they easily tuck into a corner to fill space. And give a little splash of color here or there.
It was well past time, to give our Front Porch a little make-over.
I started with one of the Antique Chairs. The more worn down the better, as far as I’m concerned. You can see, this one even has a broken seat. I had some Red Bud and Flowering Crab branches left over after my indoor decorating, so I added them. I added a grapevine wreath, some clay pots and a couple little birds that I found at the Dollar Store awhile back. And one of my favorite Antique Watering Cans.
I also recently decorated an Antique Chair in the Dining Room.
I simply stacked up some favorite books, added a wooden box and a little ceramic pitcher that looks like an orange. I filled the pitcher with water and added some long pieces of ivy, and just wrapped them around the chair posts.
Both projects took me about 10 minutes each, but I think they make an amazing statement 🙂 And other than the $2 that I spent about a month ago on the birds, I had everything else on hand.
Absolutely adorable!
I love the looks of both…so warm, inviting and charming!

Love the little birdie in the vignette with the chair! The details make it.

Your porch vignette is especially appealing, but they both look great!
Love both chairs, believe the one on the fron porch is my favorite, though!
It is so great how you decorated with your chairs! We have a few antique children chairs scattered through out the house and they are a favorite! Thanks for some inspiration and decorating ideas 🙂

@Roeshel, I’m so glad you liked my chairs! You had me confused though. I thought I linked a different post, which I did, but thought maybe I linked the chairs and forgot to link back to you.

These chairs are so nicely decorated. I love the orange planter stacked up so nicely on the books and the box and the porch chair looks like it was made for that corner!
