I've been out painting my wicker this afternoon,while Ron's been mowing the yard.
remember the natural wicker couch,here it is.
Ok,now with some white paint on it
A coat or two more and that should finish it.

It looks good Kat. Are you going to use the same cushions?

Nice work, Kat.  They look very fresh.
That sofa is a really close match to one I have, though I think yours is longer.
I hope this painting project takes the sting out of having to wait to paint your fence.

Zuzu,Its a full size ,about 80 inches i think.It does freshen it up. And it has taken my mind off the fence.

That is starting to look lovely. I received a wicker chair recently and I think I'm going to use it as a planter.

Excellent job, the paint makes all the difference. It will look great with the cushions.

This is looking great. Are you painting this with a brush?
Stop thinking about that fence!!!

Crafty,I couldnt do that to wicker unless it was totally shot,make a planter out of.Im sure you will do it up right though.
Cajun,thanks.As far as cushions,i think they will be fine for awhile.
Beth,I wanted to use a brush because it gets in the cracks better,but Ron thought i should spray paint it. The worst thing about spray cans ,it gets all over your hands and fingers.Yuk!
