So I know it's February, but here in Southern California it feels more like June right now. It's been in the high 80s/low 90s for the past few days and I have been taking advantage of it! A few months ago, I showed y'all how I updated an
old rusty metal table we had lying around... well, there are actually chairs that go with it :) With all this beautiful sunny weather, why not finish off the set and enjoy the view?
The chairs were in great condition to begin with, but they were painted the same sky blue as the table was originally and they were just chipped and showing some neglect. Here are some before shots:
Originally I was going to paint them all the same color as the table, but then my Hubby gave me the great idea to go all dual-color on them. I decided to do these colors:
I know it seems weird to put black on a metal chair (
hot tush anyone?) but for the past few days they haven't actually gotten all that hot...even when sitting in the sun all day. So the first thing I did was spray paint the section of the chairs black first. Here is what they looked like after they were coated a few times:
Next, I covered the areas most prone to getting color mixture with painter's tape (
a little time-consuming and tedious, but easier in the long run) and then began covering them with the second color of choice:
I ended up getting a little bit of paint outside the lines, but overall they turned out great! I am really loving the two-toned look of them and might end up do the table they same way down the line (
maybe black legs?) What projects have you taken on lately? Thank for stopping by!
