White Chair Farm









I'm looking at some very pretty whites.

These hydrangeas are gorgeous and came

from Safeway. There are about six-to-eight-rooted,

blooming stalks in each pot!


Martha Stewart planted some "florist hydrangeas"

in her yard years back (she tells about it in one of

her first gardening books)

and they came back beautifully every year.

That was way up north so I think we can have the

same luck down here in Maryland.


The blossom heads are huge and I feel like I am

looking at lots of frilly, flouncy dresses

whose collars and hems are trimmed with pinking sheers.


Two cane chairs are going through the refinishing

process and I'm really liking them. Soon we might

have to change the farm's name to White Chair Farm.

I do love the White Flower Farm nursery so it has a

nice ring to it. Or White Hydrangea Farm? Hmm.

Connecting with White Wednesday.

White Farm Chairs and Feed Sack Cotton




I purchased these secondhand chairs for a few dollars to paint and add around the dining table for holidays when we have need of more chairs. Especially cute chairs! I painted the textured cotton in stripes to look like feedsacks. I will post diy (do it yourself) so you can have the look as well! I am pleased how the chairs look. I do want to distress them, but when I see a lot of distressed wood around me I'm thinking the all white non marked chairs look great! See last picture of before and after! Happy White Wednesday. I am linking to Faded Charm for her fabulous White Wednesday fun. A first to also be linking to Farmhouse Friday.

Another fun creative group I found and am linking up here too is, Creative Things Thursday

I hope it's not too shocking that I have went to a larger picture format. It's so delightful to see large photographs on many other blogs so I'm giving it a go. It does appear somehow the left hand of each photograph is missing? Oh, where did you go?
