A Little Spray Paint..will do ya


This weekend we got this metal chair for our new flowerbed at a local antique store for $20 ( Most oft he ones we have seen are well over $50). When we put it in the space, the white made it stick out like a sore thumb...........



so off to Walmart and got some spray paint....................












Much better!

    Oh, I love the chair. I have always admired that style and it is just gorgeous painted brown and in the flowerbed. What a lovely piece. Hugs, Marty

    Oh, what a wonderful chair! I think you got a great price for it! I've seen some on Craigslist for much much more! Looks great! You'll have every kitty in the neighborhood coming to take naps in your chair! :)

    It looks so much more natural painted brown. Aged and weathered like it belongs in a garden.

    You got your new chair at a VERY GOOD price. And it fits right in with its new color.

    What a sweet little chair, and you're right, you got a bargain at $20! Don't you love spraypaint? It's my new friend! You're lucky to be able to put something nice like that out by the street. If I did that, it would be gone in 60 seconds!

    Very nice. I notice you appear to live in my neck of the woods. It is always nice to find a nearby blogger. I began wondering if anyone in this Ohio, Ind., Ky. corner had similar tastes and loved junk enough to blog about it.
