Wicker chair and couch garbage find

My hubbie found this wonderful little set at the curb and brought it home for revamping.
At first look I was not going to touch it as it seemed like a huge project but now I am finding great inspiration ideas thru fellow bloggers. Unfortunetaly the cushions that were with it were too used to even try to salvage. I will most likely buy some new foam and then use the some of the 50 ft of fabric that I got from my girlfriend Kitty when she was moving from Montreal.

Here is the idea for the cushions and slip covers at Beach Vintage: http://beachvintage.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2011-06-22T15%3A22%3A00%2B10%3A00&max-results=12

This is the color I want to spray paint it when fixed.

Well I think the verdict if finally in for the darker colour. Now should I use paint or stain. I think that Krylon probably has the best paint out there right now so I will have to see if I can match the colour and while I am at it, I will stand my wicker plant stand to match the settee. I came across this picture on Anna Maria Horrier's blog :http://annamariahorner.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2008-06-02T20%3A53%3A00-05%3A00&max-results=25
I also like the way the fabric's are mismatched. This is more of my style. I also love the blue on the window frame which I will probably use with yellows for the back deck to give that Mexican feel.

The Randon things I collect on Tresorcache101

My blog name is called Tresorcache101. I liked the name Tresor cache from the first time I heard it. It sounded like a diamond in the rough. I like to find little treasures even at the curb. I picked that name when I started this blog way back when. Since Tresor cache was already taken in Google, I added the 101 at the end. It is the place where I document stories about the items given to me by my Family and Friends either to keep or resale. Some of the items I are found at the curb or at 2nd Hand Stores, Flea Markets. Most of the photographs are mine with the exception of the occasional picture ideas for reference of what could be done with the item to upcycle. Google " bpagani@poshmark.ca" and click on images you will be directed to my Poshmark closet where I sell. I post items on Instagram under randomthingsicollect. Please ask any question you have regarding any of my items. Use my referral code "bpagani" to receive a $15 discount off your first purchas...
