Swing Away!

I saw this idea on pinterest a while back and just had to do this...it was soooo easy too!
 I simply took my hack saw and cut the legs off this second hand chair.  Then I drilled holes through the seat and frame and threaded the rope through.  Once that was done I simply tossed the ropes over a branch and tied them off once it was level.  The seat is black pleather but I thought a pillow made it look a bit more inviting :)
 Needless to say my kids are LOVING it!
 Okay, really LOVING it!
Summertime at our house just got a little better :)  A swinging bench made out of two chairs could be really cute this way as well. Ahhh, I love summer!
I'm linking up to Donna's party cuz its saturday night people!
