I don’t even tell my husband when I’m planning on a trip to the resale store.
It just stresses him out.
He begins envisioning long hours behind a sander and even more time with a paint brush in hand.
A few weeks ago I went and saw this for $39.99. (There were two cushions and a piece of glass, I just forgot to take a picture before I started working on the set.)
I asked the guy if that was his final offer.
He said, “You can have it for $29.99 as long as you take it away today.”
Done.
Honestly, I have no idea if it was a decent bargain or not, I just knew I needed a place to park my rear end while my kids are playing outside. (Yes, I play with my kids outside but there are days when this mommy just wants to sit and flip through a magazine too.)
Please pardon the enormous, in your face pictures, I was having some technical difficulties (a.k.a. I wanted to hurry up and watch The Real Housewives).
Did I take the time to sand this puppy? No I did not.
I simply sprayed him with an outdoor gray spray and called it done.
I also found an outdoor fabric I loved for the chairs and placed it right over the existing green covers.
The final project on our new deck.
My rear end gives this project two cheeks up! Awful, I know.
Have you finished any recent house projects?
Love it! and the deck!
Love that fabric and the new deck looks awesome! Can’t wait to see it
Excellent job!!
I absolutely love the fabric…..the manufacturers do some many wonderful outside fabrics…we got an indoor outdoor rug last year for our deck and after a total year still looks great through rain and much sun…I actually recently bought an indoor/outdoor rug over our hardwoods in the living room…with an old dog a good idea.
Pretty! What a great job you did =)
PS-I visited your blog a while ago when you showed off your Kitchen gallery wall, on Friday I am adding a pic and link to it on my post. I hope to make a similar one in my kitchen someday! Thanks again for the inspiration!!
I love the fabric you chose and especially the silver gray paint. I never think to paint outdoor furniture a color other than black. Maybe I need to venture out of my comfort zone? What a great find!
