Chairs Of A Certain Age


My name is Judy and I am a painter. If it can be painted, I will paint it. I scavenge garage and estate sales for things to apply my paint brush to.

This chair was so old that I couldn't just apply paint as I normally would. So I Googled "Old Age." And these quotes you see written on the chair are what I came up with. 

They are hand-painted words about a certain age.


One I used, as you can see, is "Old Age Comes At A Bad Time." But then, I've learned that we get better as we get older. So that doesn't necessarily apply to life. 

Old age can be a rugged, worn chair that teaches us that wisdom comes with age.

Till Next Time, Judy

  2. This is a chair that will have special meaning as "you get better with age, Judy.. You're doing a fabulous job at your present age, don't know how you could get any better. ;o)

    Old age does come at a bad time, take it from me !

    Blessings, Charlotte

  4. At least "chairs of a certain age" do not have to experience the indignity of hot flashes. As we women of a certain age do!

  5. Cute idea, Judy. I just may have to steal it ;) Oh and I agree with Brenda. Hot flashes are the bane of my existence. The other day I was so fed up, I said "That's it. I can't take much more of this!". Like I thought threatening them would stop them. They truly are sending me round the twist. J

  6. I'll go along w/the one that says:
    "Old age is 15 years older than I am." This has special meaning as I turn 66 on Friday and I'm not acknowledging old age yet!
