spray paint does wonders



These little chairs of mine were once a boring brown, and now they're a fun mint green. I wanted a change for our future dining room table chairs, but couldn't afford to go out and buy 4 new ones. So, I did the next best thing, I bought a few cans of spray paint and ta-daaaa! I have chairs that feel brand new! I got so excited that I decided to make up a mock dining room outside on the back porch... I guess you could say I can hardly wait to get my hands on our apartment.

Here's a little shot of the before chairs, and the spray paint I used. I only sprayed one coat on each chair, but for a richer look, I could have added another coat to them.

After ...

I had to include a close up of my cute little succulent I got at my soon-to-be cousin in laws bridal shower this past weekend. I'm a sucker for succulents... and mint green.

  14. Did you had to put on a primer before spray painting the chairs? They are adorable!! Wonder where you got them. It's hard to find similar here around where I live. Beautiful colors.
