IMG_1163 I picked up these 2 old wicker couches a month ago. They will not be staying the colors you see. I have usually cleaned wicker with a bucket of water and a scrub brush but getting all the dust and dirt out of all the crannies and crevasses can be a nightmare. I had a tip given to me by the lady who will be reupholstering these couches when I am done painting them. Use a air compressor to blow the dirt out. Why didn't I think of that! after all these years of scrubbing and rubbing paint off IMG_1161 Tool needed IMG_1160 I smelled a familar odor as I was blowing the dust and dirt off the back of the couches. Ode to Horse. I realized as I was up close and personal with the old backing that it was stuffed with horse hair. Spend time working at a stable and you never forget that smell. I think we will find something else to stuff the new cushions with IMG_1162 What will they look like and where will they go... stay tuned... I will say the flower pattern is definitely out.
