...its more like a dumpster diving cleaning, repainting, and re-purposing story. We've been talking about getting a small metal table to use out in the yard at Highlands. Something we could set our phones and drinks on, since the chaise loungers don't have a spot for setting things.
As luck would have it, we saw this metal table by the side of the road as we were pulling out of a restaurant. I made Hubby circle around and pick it up!
It was rusted and banged up and looked almost like it had creosote or somesuch caked all over it. In short, it was a mess. But, redeemable.
After I used a metal brush to "sand" all of the crud off, I gave it a few coats of all the leftover dibs and dabs of black spray paint we had at Highlands. Don't worry - there was at least one can that had primer built into it.
Its never going to win any prizes, but it cleaned up OK.
It cost me zero dollars total.
And it will definitely work for its intended purpose.
