Hubby and I like to go to estate sales/ yard sales/ garage sales/ etc… Not only do we like getting a deal, we also like knowing that we re-using perfectly good “stuff”. It always amazes us what people will just throw away.
Estate sales are a good way to get furniture at a really good price. And so when I saw this redwood patio set I knew I had to have it for the Florida Room (a.k.a – 3 Season room). Redwood last forever and, bonus, it looks great too!
We got this entire redwood set (and christmas decorations, wood putty, brackets, tools) for $50. Good thing we had the Rav4 with us because everything fit like a glove.
We only had to take one chair apart to make it all fit.
This set was used in the summer and put in the basement in the winter so it needed to be cleaned to remove the musty smell, dust, etc… I did my part and scrubbed them reeeealll good.
I got all the pieces done before the rain came…maybe I should have waited and let the rain do the work…
The cushions seemed to have the same musty smell so we werent sure if we could salvage them but I set again to scrubbing, washing, and febrezing! Then I hung them up to dry and air out in front of a fan in the basement. Pretty sure the next picture is Hubby sniffing them to check for the smell.
YAY! No Smell!
We set up the furniture in the Florida Room and will be all set when spring rolls around and begins the 1st of the three seasons for the Three Season Room.
Double Chair.
Single Chair.

Perfectly Excellent Redwood furniture for the Florida Room at a great price and with minimal effort to clean them up.
