it was such a beautiful day on Tuesday i felt i had to get outside…. I had Wednesday off so i started thinking about projects i could do outside and decided to paint my adirondack chairs….they are a mess – so i’m going to give them a new life. There is no question that they need some love…right now they are looking very sad in their very shabby paint – been out in the weather a bit too long.
Originally they were faux painted to sit beside a swimming pool surrounded by beautiful gardens in the back yard of a Showhouse that I worked on with a local landscaper…..that was ages ago! I had my mom paint them a light blue reminiscent of the water with faux rhododendrums and morning glories on the backs. They were so pretty. Just look at them now!
Well, i just happen to have some paint left over from Little Paris….I am going to scrape these chairs up a bit and then apply the paint. I am going to try to save the rhododendrums…we’ll see about that.
Voila! They are beautiful again!

they turned really beautiful and very happy! It was a productive and worthwhile off for you. This is a good read.:)
It was a painstaking task because i wanted to save the art….but i am happy with them! Thanks for your positive comments!
Your chairs are beautiful again. It is amazing what a coat of paint will do. Your mom did a good job painting the rhododendrums and morning glories on the backs.
Happy working outdoors….
