My husband purchased this bentwood garden set at an estate sale. I don't have an image of the before cushions, but believe me they were 70's floral. The set is very well constructed and manufactured by Bamtam Products. It definitely has some impressive curves.

I recovered the cushions in a mini houndstooth pattern. I chose black contrasting cording.

I also sanded, primed and painted the set in high gloss white.
It was a very tedious and time consuming project, but I'm very happy with the result.

To add some color and a touch of Spring, I added some fern pillows outlined with braid.

This set would be perfect on a screened porch.
I'm adding this set to my stash for the Lucketts Spring Market.
Are you coming? It's not to be missed.
