I love this kind of chair...the old metal "tulip" chairs that have made a comeback in the past few years. I have two that belonged to my grandparents. They were the original pale green color when I first obtained them. I've sprayed the chairs a variety of colors...blue, hot pink, and yellow. I've not used them for a few years and they've been exiled to the basement. The old bolts are rusted tight and I'd really like to take them apart so I can replace them...sanding and painting would be easier too. Their next incarnation will be black with white arms (and legs). They'll reside on the front porch with a small wrought iron table in between. Perhaps a burlap pillow on each with a stencilled something-or-other on them.
Next on my list of favorites...Birkenstock Arizona sandals. Year 'round footwear--just add socks. After wearing these, it's hard to wear regular shoes.
Summer drink of choice...Coke Zero (along with iced tea and coffee). Love the taste of Zero, hate the taste of Diet Coke. Go figure.

I'm in total agreement with the first thing on your list. Love those chairs. Have you seen what Linda at Blue Gate often does with them?
Birkenstocks don't look comfortable to me, but they must be since so many swear by them.
And now I will try Coke Zero based solely on your recommendation. Thanks!
Love the chair--in any color! And the B's are my fave shoe!
