Spray Painting Patio Furniture

You’ve already seen what we’ve been busy with in our front yard, but we’ve been working on our backyard too and I have a few things up my sleeve!  First up is actually a project I completed months ago but then forgot to share (bad blogger!)

When we installed our patio, we didn’t have much budget left over for patio furniture.  I had bought a wicker loveseat at Ross, but wanted a table to match, so I was really happy to come across this little table on clearance at Target.

It was cute, but I would have preferred matching furniture for a more cohesive look.

So what’s a girl to do?  Break out the spray paint of course!

I used Krylon Outdoor Spaces in “Earth” color and gave the table a few coats.

And the table turned out pretty darn well!

It’s not a 100% match to the loveseat, but it’s pretty close and is a much better color than before.  I’ll be sharing more patio updates soon, so stay tuned!  Are you doing any outdoor projects this year?

I'm linking this post up to the spray paint party at Thrifty Decor Chick, The DIY Show Off, Tip JunkieToday's Creative Blog.

Nice job! I love the plantings that you show in your previous post, too. It's been raining so much here that I haven't been able to break out my spray paint cans yet.
