Picked up my plum chairs this morning. They look great! The color really works. I was even given the almost empty cans in case I need to do some touch-ups.
There is a story behind these chairs: They belonged to the Hilo Hawaiian for 20 years. Although they were undamaged, the hotel was preparing to throw them away. But up stepped the staunch recyclers and said "just a minute there - we can give these chairs new life and benefit the Boys and Girls Club",and so it is.
This is a real win-win-win-win: (1)the chairs are not in the landfill, (2)they are gracing my garden, (3)they are benefiting youth programs (4)they are local history preserved. Can it get any better that that?
Mahalo to the Puna Lions for their vision and their positive energy.
