    We have three white lawn chairs in the front yard. They are metal with plastic strips for the seats. They don't stay clean at all. So, I decided to paint the legs and arms white again and make slip covers for the seat and back. I took a before picture and will take an after picture and post them when I'm done. (If I can figure out how to size the pictures). I'm working on that now that I have the camera working. The material is a denim plaid, a tan with blue and yellow stripes. I'm going to move the blue rocker to the front yard and if there is enough material left I'll make a cushion to match the slip covers. I have some big logs that I'm using for tables next to the chairs and have the bleeding hearts in between some of the chairs.
    It will make a nice grouping under the trees.

    I hope you're a quick learner Dooley and get those pics resized for us. I'm really looking forward to seeing photographs of your furniture covers - they sound great.
    Erm...if you could take some shots of the house, garden, Chance, DR and anything else you think we'll like then feel free!! ;)

    Dooley, now that you have given a vivid description of the slipcovers you have created an audience. We can just sit in the chairs till the pictures are ready. :)
