Father's Day was a whole week ago.
I had hoped to post this sooner because it is a project my father gave me.
One Saturday, Dad just showed up with this chair.
It had a plant in it at the time, but you will see that in a minute. Here's another shot of the chair.
After the required jokes about potty chairs, birthing chairs and cholera epidemics (not that there's anything funny about cholera, of course), I decided to spruce it up a bit.
So I grabbed my trusty can of Valspar blue spray paint and got to work.
Incidentally, see that tree in the background?
The one with the red spray paint on it?
That is what happens when you leave spray paint alone in the custody of a 10 year old.
He thought it would wash off.
Love those boys!
(and it's a good thing or I surely would have sold them by now!)
Anyway, back to the story.
Here is the finished product:
And if anyone out there knows if this is a plant or a weed, please let me know.
I think it is a weed.
Someone sold my dad weed a weed.
sorry. I couldn't resist.
Either way, I am killing it slowly.
I think I will move it into the shade and see how it does there.
Oh and here's what I made for my dad:
Happy Monday!

You did a great job with that chair. Your father's weed does look like turfgrass weed to me. You could wait a while and see if any flowers pop up but I don't think so.
Hehe, I think you were extremely lucky that he only decided to paint the tree!
Hope you have a lovely week, Jami!
The chair looks great! The truffles look awesome too! Not sure about the plant, I am not good with identifying things like that. Love the chair though!
What a great idea! Love the chair! Hope your dad didn't get caught with the "weed"! LOL
I love the chair!!! The color is awesome!! I confess, as someone who used an outhouse for the 1st 8 years of her life, I thought it was a chair for potty!!! lol
Love the turquoise, it looks great! Um, and you must post the recipe to those yummy looking goodies you made!
The chair looks great! I think that's what they used to refer to as a chamber pot. I like what it's being used for now much better than what it was originally used for, though.
Love the finished project. I am looking for some old stuff to decorate my front yard and porch right now.
The Macaroons look deadly.
Awesome, I love that chair, I have to find me one soon, I have seen several now, and I adore them. Thanks for your support and vote...you can vote any time you want...there is no limit:)
Love the chair! It's amazing how far a person could go with a little spray paint. It makes such a difference on projects.
Love the chair!

It's not a weed...I promise. But at the moment the name of that plant has left my brain. If it comes back to me I'll let you know! :)
