Tip Top TeePees!!!

 via
Who would think teepees would become a thing?
This lace version had me at twigs and lace tablecloths...well yes...please.

A little trip around Pinterest shows so many variations on the teepee theme.
There is one for everyone.

A perfect shady spot for kids to play.

A secret hideout in a child's room.

I'd like to have that one above in my backyard for me and the weenies.

oh...so upscale when done up all in black and white.
Storybook time is all the better in a frilly teepee.

This one all covered in living plants takes going green to another level.

Now this is glamping!
A big one inside for the kids makes a rainy day fun.

So I got my settee painted today. 
Yikes! It's ugly in this old photo.
The old black paint was just flaking off everywhere.
I brushed it with a wire brush and paint was just flying off.
It was everywhere and I was worn out from trying to clean it.
I washed it afterwards and left it to dry over night.
I was really starting to wish I'd never started this project.

I was doubting it would even look good again and I was wishing I'd just saved
the money I'd spent on this to go towards a new outdoor wicker settee.

But today after three cans of black spray paint...I have to say it's looking very good.
I'll put it back on the porch, style and show here.
I didn't realize I'd bought this way back in February!
Time flies! That is for sure.
It is not my fault it took so long to do this though...first it was too cold and then
seemed every day I had off, it rained.

I can't wait to show it to you!
