White Wednesday...

I have the cutest tomato cages in my neighborhood!...
while I am trying to decide what kind of bottoms to put on these...
I thought we might as well use them for something...
now I have until fall to think of how I want the seats to look...
I have thought about covering ply wood...
but then what color?..
what pattern?...
I have also thought about staining one inch boards...
or painting them white to match the chairs...
I want something sturdy and that will last more than a few years...
and it has to look good, too...
Happy White Wednesday!...

    Definitely the prettiest tomato cages EVER! I have one of those chairs too, and I took the seat off, put one of those enamel bowls with the red rim in the hole and planted flowers in it. The bowl fit perfectly, like it was meant to be! Can't wait to see what you end up doing with them, once the tomatoes are done!
    Happy WW,

    Sooooo cute! Perfect in the garden as cages, who knows come fall you may want to put a couple of big fat white pumpkins on them! Theresa

    What a cute idea for those chairs! I have two similar ones that need seats too. I think they will be sitting in our garden by tomorrow.
    Thank you.

    What a fun blog you have here! I found you on the blog hop list.
    I love that advice/quote about sleeping pills and laxatives. I will have to share that with my husband.
