FANTASTIC MOTHER IN LAW!!

Post by TERPTROOPER »

Hello all-
I hope this works, I want to share some photos with everybody. These chairs were done for me by my wonderfully talented mother in law. My wife and I were thinking of buying four chairs from "Margaritaville.com" for our "tropical paradise" along the Potomac River (We have our deck set up in a JB/tropical/tiki theme). Well while we were deciding which chairs to get, my mother n law showed us a sale paper for plain Adirondack chairs from Just Cabinets. She told us to get these chairs and to give her some of our concert shirts and let her design them for us. I knew she was talented, but as you can see from the pictures, she is incredible. When we gave her the shirts we also gave her pictures of other tropical themes and told her to "go wild" with them. I told her during the process that when she was done I was going to post pictures on this site to get some expert opinions. So please take a moment to look at them and tell me what you think. I'm new at this but if you go to "photobucket.com" and search for TERPTROOPER you should see the album. If this doesn't work someone please tell me how to do it. If it does work, when I recover from my shoulder surgury and get back to the river I will take some shots of our deck and how it is decorated.
