Easy Patio Furniture Makeover

Some of you might remember that last summer we bought a new (to us) patio set off of what I lovingly refer to as the “fake craigslist”. What I didn’t realize at that time was that patio chair cushions are expensive and since our set didn’t come with any it took me a while to get all six purchased. Well last week the last two finally came and I’ve been working like a mad woman to get our patio ready for the season! Our patio furniture was also looking like it had seen better days with some rusty spots.

My friends over at Rustoleum were good enough to send me some of my favorite Ultra Cover Paint and Primer in one in Midnight Blue with a Satin finish to give them a little face lift. It took me a couple of hours to get the whole thing taped off and painted, but the difference is amazing! It looks like a brand new set!

I started off by painting the chairs.  I didn’t bother taping them off because they are always going to be covered by cushions.  Unfortunately it was a little breezy when I decided to paint them so I ended up looking a member of the blue man group by the time it was all over.  I should have gotten a picture of that!

Once the chairs were dry I had my sweet hubby help me tape of the glass parts of the table so that I could spray the metal to match.  He is so good to me!  I gave it a nice even coat on the bottom, and then once that dried flipped it over and gave it a nice even coat on the top.  Not only is it so much prettier, but it is also going to be protected from the crazy rain and salt water we are exposed to this close to the ocean!

So there she is in all her glory!  It took about 1 hour of work and 4 hours of drying time to get a brand new patio set!  And I love it.  A lot.  Maybe even a little too much…
