Dressing the side patio with salvaged chairs
Having a beautiful and comfortable outdoor space is just as important to me as the interior of my home. The two patio chairs below were rescued from the curb on trash collection day. The original peach color was faded and they were quite soiled. Once they were thoroughly cleaned and dried I sprayed them with the beautiful lime green color from rust-o-leum. It took several coats to get really good coverage but as you can see it was well worth it. The small blue table between the two chairs was made from an inexpensive plant stand and a wood round from the hardware store. I painted the plant stand black to cover the original white which was dingy and rusted in places. The round was painted with an undercoat of black and top coat of bright blue. It was then stenciled with red. Decorative pillows made for outdoor use, and lots of potted plants makes this patio really pop. As the summer progressed these plants grew hearty and really enhanced the patio design.
