Default Sometimes, Tweaking A Visual Design Doesn't Work

For the camp's porch swing, I alter my usual general design of the backrest.. The oval sides of the upper backrest are not appealing, as I had thought they might. I can always trim more off of those oval shapes, once I see where the chains run.

The purpose of those wider than usual sides was to hide the support chains. Typically, the chains are run through the armrests. I don't want the chains to run through the armrests, but to run outside the arms....and framing. Anyway, those oval sides will be trimmed, some, at least.

The seat is comfortable and the arms are a good height and comfortable, also.

Yesterday was Mom's 92nd birthday. The family took photos, then we all went to Prejeans (eatery/live music) for dinner. Mom still likes dancing to the Cajun music. The pic is of Mom and I.... at our best.
