I started the "patio project" about 2 weeks ago, and am slowly making progress. My ficus tree and potted plants were wintering in the garage. And yes, the deck boards are in sad shape. (But that's a project for Hubby.)
What possessed me to paint this set green? Bubbie and I had to sand virtually all of the paint off, as even with primer the new paint was wanting to flake. I detest sanding - fortunately, he loves it. I would estimate he did more than 50% of it!
Spray priming and painting is a messy job and I never want to do this again! I was lucky it wasn't windy.
The plants came back to live in their Spring home. And the hanging sun face got a fresh coat of spray paint, too.
These pretty cushions were $10 each at Wally World. They are zippered, so I probably couldn't have made them cheaper.
Just a woman enjoying her "new" patio furniture.

Glad you’re patio project turned out great! I love how simple and laid back it looks. I could spend an entire day doing nothing in that place.
