splotches of color
Hurray ~ all the painting is done. I had two additional projects to scrape and repaint and I've finally finished them up and can share them. The first one is my rocker. As you can see, I did not take a new photo ~ how could it get any better than this one with my cat all in a huff?? For the record, he was majorly annoyed with me because I hauled him out of a comfortable position in the house to plop him on the seat (thinking he would make the photo more interesting). Ha. Never, ever, ever decide where a cat is best suited (or use them as a photo prop if it isn't their idea). Not cool. Any who, back to the rocker ~ I repainted it the same "eggplant" color (since it was also peeling) ~ isn't it pretty especially with my containers as a backdrop?? Now that I've used the oil based primer, I'm hoping painting the chairs won't be a yearly chore but can extend to every several years??
Lastly, my vintage toolbox got a once over with "sunshine" yellow spray. It looks so cheery now, much better than the plain wood & metal it was. I really did a terrible job preparing it for paint ~ as in ~ nothing.(no sanding, no priming, etc.) Just plain lazy spraying. I figure if it peels it will just contribute to that "aged" look that's so popular now. So there you have it, these, combined with my key lime chairs, complete my garden painting (at least for this season).
