Before:
The set was in great shape and very sturdy, just worn looking. I also bought some new chalk paint from The Urban Rooster in a few colors and decided this patio set needed a little Jaded Rooster.
I didn't sand or do anything to wood besides give it a quick wipe down with a cloth. The bold jade paint went on smoothly and easily and I only needed 2 coats. Since this piece will be going out side I did not wax it.

ReplyDeleteThank you Christine-I love the bold color!
DeleteLove it! You picked a perfect color to brighten up the outdoors with. So many outdoor sets are some shade of brown and I really love this pop of color. It was an amazing find and now it is an absolute gem!
ReplyDeleteThank you Susan-I agree the color is perfect for this piece-love the pop!
DeleteHi!! I think this may be the same set I bought my parents many years ago for their anniversary. It looks like it is in about the same shape now as the 'before'. You have inspired me to give them the gift of a spruce up of the set. I think my mom will like red, but I am loving' the colour you chose too. So pretty!-Sue
