Weekly Finds

This week I found 3 cans of rust-oleum spray paint in my garage.  I bought them back when we were remodeling the kitchen and had visions of what I could do with the old patio furniture I had inherited.

Last weekend those visions finally came to fruition.  I had these three chairs that went with a long gone table left from the clean out of my mother's garage.

I like these chairs okay...the flower detail is fun, but I have never been a fan of the color.  Enter rust-oleum.

Huge difference!

I used two cans and refinished 3 chairs and one table.

It was so easy!  I threw a drop cloth down in my backyard and got to spraying.  These are just a single coat and it dried pretty quickly.

I put the furniture back in place the same evening.  Simple as can be.  I was on the verge of wanting to replace this table and now I am a-okay with it.

I was honestly a little intimidated by spray paint...I felt like I couldn't control it, but it was so easy and not very messy at all (I still wore my painting clothes, of course).  If you were holding back on trying the spray paint thing...don't!  It's super easy!



Have a fabulous Wednesday!!

Weekend Recap

Relaxing.  That's the one word I would use to describe my weekend.  It was nice.  I am trying to get everything done around my house that I want finished before my surgery on Thursday.  I am still remarkable calm and laid back in light of the fact that I will be reporting to the hospital on Thursday morning.  Maybe I will feel differently after my pre-op appointment with the doctor tomorrow I don't know, but I will keep you posted.

Okay, back to the more fun and interesting topic of my relaxing weekend.  Saturday I had a wonderful girls day with my dear friend Rebecca.  We went for manicures and pedicures and then did a little shopping and lunching.  After that we returned to my house and put together the new tables I had purchased for the deck.

Oh look, there's Sammy.  Weird.  She is never in any of my pictures.  I found these tables at Lowe's and I think they look great with the chairs I already have out on the deck.

Look at our handy work.  We are awesome.  The husband was very impressed with us.  Rebecca, the husband, our friend Sean and my mom enjoyed the evening with the furniture, the fire pit and grilled burgers.

Obviously I have some spring planting on my to do list, but I will get there. The container on this table will be much cuter once it is full.

It was a wonderful Saturday.

My Sunday was very similar, I got a massage then did a little shopping and tied up some more loose ends around my house.

How was your weekend?

Have a great week!
