The Tale of the Ugly Chairs

This project has been a long time in the making.

A loooonnnnnggg time.

So, like 13 years ago, when we bought our first house, we bought a set of patio chairs.

You know the lovely, hard plastic, white chairs that stack up & were, you know....cheap.

Yep. Those.

So they were great & all. We had a place to sit but after a few years they began to look well, not so nice.

Dirty.

So you scrub them down each year & call it good.

Then I first learned about the spray paint for plastic & I thought "Cool! I can paint the chairs!"

And due to time, money, life & mostly money, that is as far as that project got. Sigh.

So a few more years go by...

(did y'all ever notice I say "so" a lot? Hmmmmm...)

And the chairs just get uglier

You wanna sit in that right?

So (see? there I go again!) this house that we just moved to has a nice patio right out the slider doors & those ugly chairs just weren't getting any House Beautiful points you know?

It was time for drastic measures.

It was time actually buy the spray paint.

Did you know spray paint comes in really really pretty colors?

Seriously. You need to paint something. Now.

My latest color kick is turquoise & I have always had a weakness for red, yellow & pink so there you go ~ a standard 50's color pallet Oh So pleasing to the eye.

It took a LOT of paint. They don't pack as much into those cans as they used to.

It took a can PER chair !

But aren't they looking better?

And just check this babies out!

Under the twinkle lights & everything :)

Happy sigh.

I really, really,really Like my chairs now.

Blessings.
