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 green, I ask you? Yuck. 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...prepare to be overwhelmed by this transformation...
But yay! The plants came back to live in their Spring home! And the sun got a facelift!
These pretty cushions were $10 each at Wally World. They are zippered, so I probably couldn't have made them cheaper, factoring in that I am not adept at putting zippers in things. I love the dark brick color; maybe that would be a good choice for the picnic set, next in line for a sprucing. Also, I might talk the hubby into an umbrella for the center of the table.
Who is that woman!? Oh, well...she can stay if she shares her beer...
I think I'll go join her now and enjoy my new patio furniture. Ciao!
