Outrageous garden features and toolkit making! HT Meetup at Milner

by Donna at Funky Junk Interiors

This week I had the extreme pleasure of taking part of a super cool event! This Hometalk Meetup was all about gardening and you won't believe how the place was decked out!
Milner Village Garden Center is the retail division to Darvonda Nurseries, the outfit that caters to all the Costco stores! But there's more to the story as you'll soon see... MUCH more. Get ready for some MAJOR eye candy...

I am liking this chair as well. I calculate 30 or 32 depending upon which arm style you like. One has a block turned on the back with the flat portion on the top to the back of the chair creating part of the arm (view a/30 bricks). View a is shown on the blog. The other has the arm uses 2 blocks in front for the arms (view b/32 bricks). View b is the photo shown in this post. The seat uses 6 bricks in 2 rows of 3, sides use 4 each with holes facing out staring with l hole showing/sticking out at the front, back is 4 rows of 3. The first 2 rows are stacked with the holes out, the third would be the same for b. For view a you would turn the end bricks of the the third row toward the front to become part of the arms and center the middle brick, then the 4th row would have the holes up. Finally the arms, view a would have one brick on each side with the holes up, view b would have 2 on each side also with the holes up.
