Don't Sit THERE!

So sometimes my "mind" and "ideas" get the better of me.  I see something and what I want to "make" it and don't think about what could happen if others don't see my vision....which by the way is most of the time.   I have some new additions to our front porch.  Our house has very dark brick and trim, so I decided to add lots of color to it.  I bought a pillar at a warehouse sale, painted it teal blue, added a hook, and it is now our welcome sign holder.  I change the little signs out for the different holidays (thank you for this idea Pinterest).  I bought a horribly old chair that had a sign on it, "Don't sit here" taped too it.  I had Dan cut a hole in it and I plopped a pretty plant inside of it...So Don't Sit There!  I then found a horribly shabby bistro set, that I am turning into a plant stand.  I will eventually add more plants, but 1.  It is 115 degrees and nothing much will survive right now and 2.  I have to find cute plastic pots because we really didn't check out the wind speeds in Haslet, Texas before buying our house.  So plastic it will have to be, just in case.  If you come to our house and see my cute bistro set...Don't Sit There.  I will NOT be liable for any injuries.  It is a plant stand, not a people stand.

Bistro Chair Before
 I have based all of my colors on that Target front door rug :)
Dan cut a perfectly perfect round circle in the old chair for me...just Don't Sit There!
 I have a vision of this being covered in potted plants, on the seats, on the top, underneath. 
Just Don't Sit There!
 Or There!  I will be sure to put plants on the seats so it is almost impossible to sit.  This set was soooo cheap and I have been looking for a plant stand for that side of the porch...so there it is!
OK, you can sit there!  We need to go and buy one more small rocker for Blake. 
We have had these since Cole's first birthday :)
