A while back I bought this cute little wicker seat for $40.
And not until just recently have I decided on a color to spray paint it.
Being almost 7 months pregnant, spray paint is the way to go.
With proper breathing protection of course.
Here it is after a couple coats of brown
First, I used a wire brush to chip off some of the peeling white paint, then I primed it with a spray paint primer. After it was dry, I used a brown Rustoleum paint, two coats.
It's a lovely spot to sit and relax.
Keep your eye out for these old wicker pieces, they are very easily fixed with a little paint.

it looks so fabulous! the color is awesome and the pillows make it pop!
ReplyDeleteWow, I never would have known it wasn't the original non-painted wicker. Looks so cozy!
ReplyDeleteI need one of these to complete my porch area!! (so jealous). I love the green side chairs and pillows to match. I bet this looks beautiful in real life!!
ReplyDeleteSeven months! It seems like just a few weeks ago when you broke the good news :) The wicker bench looks great. Look great with your green chairs. It looks like a nice place to sip a glass of lemonade.
ReplyDeleteSo many things seem to be painted white, so to see something originally white, and having a colour direction change is great. This is a lovely transformation. I much prefer the 'after'. Well done!!
ReplyDeleteyowzers! I can't believe the difference!
ReplyDeleteAmazing work! It looks so natural and works so well with your home. Great job and thank you so much for using Rust-Oleum to complete your project.
ReplyDeletegorgeous. Looks brand new. Love the color combo also.
ReplyDeleteI redid a wicker set too and used rust-oleum espresso. It really made a difference.

Really pretty with your pillows! I have some wicker on the back patio that needs some sprucing up. I've actaully never thought about painting it until now. How are you feeling, Kathleen? I can't believe you're already 7 months! Are you all ready for the new little one?
ReplyDeleteI love that! it looks much better brown than it did white. the pillows are also perfect :)
