You are my biggest fan! And Mat...Thank you Julie. You are my biggest fan! And Mattie's too. She always makes me think of when we first met. I've never heard of using hairspray but it makes complete sense. I'll have to try that one now. It seems people throw away the most perfectly good items, much to my happiness. My old neighbor offered me a wicker rocker a few years back and both she & her daughter wanted it after I painted it. lol. Then another neighbor threw away an antique wicker rocker because the rocker arm wouldn't stay on. It was an easy fix & looked great after I made a couple of cushions and painted it. Another "I wish I wouldn't have thrown it away" comment. Wrapping them with twine is a great idea. I have a post coming up with a few failures to balance it all out. haha.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08643279791342765171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053654828170672638.post-5870334263333203462013-11-09T01:04:32.913-05:002013-11-09T01:04:32.913-05:00Aww - thanks CIndy.

All three of them! No wait, all four ...I love them! All three of them! No wait, all four of them..lol b/c Mattie is a cutie too! I hadn't heard of the steam revive trick on the stain florals, good one ;) thanks for sharing that tip. I have two revive tips for you on the fake florals, pics, etc. When you buy them new, spray them with hairspray. It will prevent as much fading in color from the sun, resist mold spores from rain that leaves spots & it keeps there shape and they will hold up better longer & not flop! Also, you can spray paint the petals if they get dull in color. I never throw away my old florals, I always re-use them in some way. I got an old wicker settee once that someone was tossing out. It looks pretty rough though & was falling to pieces. Here's another tip for those once they fall apart & shed there wicker strands, you can pull all that off, and you have a perfect frame to re-cover with twine string of fabric torn strips. A long procedure to re-winding through it yes, but it really looks nice once done. I ended up selling mine that I recovered & made $40 on it. Can't wait to see what you have in mind for the wicker settee. Don't keep us in suspense long ;) Great #DIY post Tracy. Thanks!
