Here sits my sad chaise lounge. I "inherited" it from my grandma's move from St. George. She was just telling me yesterday that it was old when she bought it and that was almost 40 years ago! It has seen all parts of the state. But I love it because its sturdy and reclines when I want it to without tipping over. Its been hobbling along for several years now. I decided this was the year to give it a make-over.
This is where the wheels are suppose to be so you can pick up one end and wheel it. Another feature I love. The poor rubber wheels have long since rotted and I have to pick up the entire thing if I want to move it at all! So I went to Home Depot and they directed me to some lovely casters. Nope- not even close to wagon wheels, but thanks. I wandered the store until I found these awesome dolly wheels! Now my chaise lounge is a 4x4 cruiser!
Here is my finished product! I sanded all the rust off and spray painted it an antique white. The new cushion adds some color to my very beige house and yard so I'm very pleased with myself once again!

Very sharp! And better than a hammock perhaps. :)
Much better than a hammock! Looks fantatsic! You're amazing!
WOW! I might just need to come lounge at your house:)
I too am astounded! It looks fabulous. What a great little place to put your feet up and read a good book:)
I love that you fixed it up! Love the new cushion. Way to be creative & courageous enough to know that you can upgrade stuff!
