On Tuesday, July 23 of 1996 we got this teak Barlow Tyrie Capri Lounger delivered, complete with cushion. It served us well, all those years but last year we had it professionally painted WHITE, together with the teak round table.
Yes, we still support the color 'Orange' being Dutch by birth and American by choice!
We found this umbrella with stand at Tuesday Morning and the stand got painted green, like our outdoor shutters.
We love the round teak table and the Capri Lounger being painted white.
This is how our Barlow Tyrie Capri Lounger with wheels used to be...
The Italian CERDOMUS ceramiche tiles are being put on last year by husband Pieter.
The entire balusters and railing are from Vintage Woodworks in Polyurethane, reinforced with aluminum. In late summer they too got professionally painted. They will last a lifetime!
Not bad for an 18-year old Barlow Tyrie Capri Lounger; don't you think?

Our grass looks so unreal and perfect green with almost daily rain this summer. We sure enjoy our garden and home.

Mariette

The main thing is.... do you get time to lay on that lounge. I hope you do.
ReplyDeleteHugs Kay
Dearest Kay,
DeleteYes, we are almost entirely caught up with work so there is more relaxing time coming our way.

Mariette
Liebe Mariette,
ReplyDeletedas ist wunderschön.
Alles Liebe

Liebe Elisabeth,
DeleteEs sicher ist ein sehr schöner Balkon.
Liebe Grüsse,
Mariette
Cara Mariette, io credo che tu abbia una CASA DA SOGNO, un giardino magnifico e guarda qui che angolo hai creato! Con una casa così non si sente il bisogno di vacanza, perchè è come esserlo tutto l'anno. Complimenti, complimenti davvero!!! Paola
ReplyDeleteGrazie cara Paola, ma un giardino enorme come quello e anche la casa prendono un sacco di lavoro. Ma ci piaccia e ci stiamo quasi interamente raggiunto nuovamente così questo balcone ci servirà bene.
DeleteBaci,
Mariette
Well done!
ReplyDeleteThis garden lounge will last for ever now, a very good idea!
All you need now is the sun! LOL!
Keep well dear Mariette!
Dearest Noushka,
DeleteThank you and it will certainly serve us for a life time; no doubt.
The sun can be way too hot though in July and also August but we already have enjoyed the balcony and more of that time is coming our way.
Hugs to you,
Mariette
Looks good
ReplyDeleteDearest Jo-Anne,
DeleteOh, it is our little heaven...
Hugs,
Mariette
Dear Mariette, it looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day, hugs, Manuela
Dearest Manuela,
DeleteWe are very happy with the white version and it suits us well.
Hugs,
Mariette
Alles gereed om even te genieten, maar wel met een kussen hoop ik...
ReplyDeleteBeste Marianne,
DeleteJazeker, er is een heel mooi zacht ligkussen bij in wit... Anders zou het fakir-achtig liggen zijn!
Liefs,
Mariette
Het ziet er prachtig uit. Geniet ervan.........
ReplyDeleteGroetjes Bianca
Beste Bianca,
DeleteJa, een tijdschrift mee, kopje thee en heerlijk dromen op het zachte kussen...
Liefs,
Mariette
Perfect!!! Your lounger and table both look brand new!!!!!!!!!! Enjoy them, dear Mariette!
ReplyDeleteMany hugs!!
Dearest Marie-Anne,
DeleteWe both are so pleased with such a great job done and they sure look like brand new!
Enjoy we will.
Hugs,
Mariette
Oh, your Lounger looks so GORGEOUS, Mariette; I love the white color and looks really relaxing♡♡♡
ReplyDeleteSending you Lots of Love and Hugs to my Dear friend in America from Japan (midnight, haha), xoxo Miyako*
Dearest Miyako,
DeleteThis is a very nice spot for relaxing and we will have great use out of our balcony in years to come.
Sending love back across the oceans to my Japanese friend!
Mariette
That's a very lovely lounger. Looks like new and on those tiles, white looks so bright and lovely! I'd love to have lounger but our deck is too small for it. Maybe someday if we ever move :-)
ReplyDeleteDearest Tamago,
DeleteIt is a lovely lounger on a great balcony.
In Italy we did have two balconies but no space for any lounger... In Pennsylvania we had nothing, only at our previous home here in Dublin, Pieter did build us a tiled patio, half covered.
Hugs,
Mariette
Dear Mariette,your Lounger looks great!I love the white color!!I have it but in brown color!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Summertime!Have fun my friend!!Hugs!!
Dimi...
Dearest Dimi,
DeleteWe both love the white version of it; after 17 years of natural teak color it is quite a change.
We enjoy our summer and the best part is coming soon when the weather is less hot and humid.
Hugs to you dear friend.
Mariette
Dear Mariette,
ReplyDeleteThe sunlounger looks great painted white and the tiles look very nice on the patio.
Hope you get to spend lots of time relaxing out there.
Enjoy the rest of the week
hugs
Carolyn
Dearest Carolyn,
DeleteThank you and it is a very nice combination all together. Yes, more and more it is balcony time for us and hope till deep into the fall, when the weather is more pleasant.
Hugs,
Mariette
Dearest Mariette,
ReplyDeleteYour teak barlow tyrie capri longer with cushion well.and Last year I love you had lovely painted white color with teak round table. The last year your husband Pieter was put the Italian Cerdomus ceramiche tiles also he has professionally gorgeous all ways!
Hugs and Love always!
Michiko
Dearest Michiko,
DeleteThank you and husband Pieter sure did a professional job in putting those polyurethane ballusters on himself. We had them painted but so good to know they never ever will rot again!
Hugs,
Mariette
Liebe Mariette,
ReplyDeletehätte ich nicht gedacht dass die Liege schon 18 Jahre alt ist. Sie sieht wudnerbar aus in weiss mit dem passenden Tisch. Das farb-i-tüfpelchen ist natürlich der orange Schirm.
Gutes relaxen! :-)
Liebe Grüessli
Julia
Liebe Julia,
DeleteDoch die Liege ist schon 18 Jahre und damit sieht man wieder dass es sich immer lohnt um Qualität zu kaufen. Pro Jahr ist es immerhin billig wenn man es umrechnet.
Ja, der orange Schirm war auch der einzige kleine den es gab aber für uns hat es noch Bedeutung diese Farbe und passt auch sonnig dazu.
Liebe Grüsse,
Mariette
Heerlijk zo'n lounger. Fijn dat je er ook de ruimte voor hebt. Wat woon je ook prachtig. Zo heb je toch elke dag een vakantiegevoel. Fijne dag, lieve groet
ReplyDeleteBeste Willy,
DeleteJa, het is werkelijk mooi maar we hebben helaas geen kaboutertjes die al het werk voor ons doen. Dus dat vakantiegevoel is beperkt; vaak ben je ook moe, met name in de zomermaanden valt het werken niet mee. Maar we redden het nog met ons beidjes!
Liefs,
Mariette
Liebe Mariette,
ReplyDeletedie Liege sieht aus wie neu. Ganz toll. Sie passt so gut.
Und der Sonnenschirm ist der Hingucker.
Einen schönen Tag wünscht dir
Irmi
Liebe Irmi,
DeleteJa, sie sieht wirklich wieder aus wie neu!
Sonnenschirm in diese Farbe ist auch sehr fröhlig dazu.
Liebe Grüsse und schöner Nachmittag noch.
Mariette
Dear Mariette,
ReplyDeleteYour teak lounger and table have served you well, and now look just as good as new on your pretty balcony! I love your railings and the orange umbrella gives it all a nice pop of color. It's always nice to take care of the things we already have and try to make them last as long as possible. Teak is a wonderful wood. I hope you have some beautiful days to enjoy your nicely painted furniture.
Hugs xo
Karen
Dearest Karen,
DeleteEighteen years is already a great service and since they got painted they look incredible for lots more years of use. Yes, preventive maintenance always pays off and so does waiting to get quality pieces that last and last.
It is a very dark and cloudy day with a pregnant sky but hopefully next week we will have some balcony days again!
Hugs,
Mariette
Lieve Mariette,
ReplyDeleteHoop dat jullie veel mooie dagen mogen genieten van ligbed en tafel,staat mooi in het wit en past uitstekend in het geheel.
Lieve groet,Ger
Lieve Ger,
DeleteJa, die tijd gaat beslist binnenkort weer komen, kan nog een maand of drie hier of mogelijk nog langer.
We zijn verguld met het resultaat en we hebben het gevoel nu dat we bíj zijn met alle grote klussen!
Liefs,
Mariette
