|
I have been working on these chairs. The first picture is one I posted earlier. The second is the first chair completed except for some touch up. I plan to paint the two matching chairs this green and the rocker that matches them will be painted yellow. Not sure yet about the small chair and the table.

I remember you posting the first photo earlier Polly. Thanks for the update, it came out great. Is there a name for that shade of green? It'd say peppermint?

Thanks for the compliments. The color is "Early Grass" The yellow I plan to use on the rocker is called "Tender Bud". I paid more for the paint of course than all of the chairs. I got all 3 chairs for $15 at a garage sale last summer.

The next two should go much quicker. My husband came home last night with a new paint sprayer. No more brush painting on wicker for me. Now just need some warmer weather so we can paint them out side and not get paint spray all over everything else.
