Sharing with you a photo that I like to refer to as my Better Homes & Gardens shot! lol If I added a few more touches, maybe some ice tea glasses, a pitcher, garden hat, etc., it seemed like it could be featured in the pages of a magazine?? Sad to say, these chairs are not looking exactly this way after our long winter. I'm not sure why, but they are peeling really bad?? I primed them well before spraying with the key lime color?? It was so fun and cheery having that bright color to greet us on the flagstone patio that I know I have to sand and redo them. I would get up in the morning, look out the window and just smile! Anything that starts the day out that way, is worth repeating! The inspiration to paint them came after a weekend of greenhouse hopping last spring. Chairs in multi colored hues were everywhere so I came home and "played" along. Looks like I'll be doing it again soon. Now whether to keep the same color or switch it up to a new one?!! Any suggestions??!!

I *love* that shade of green, especially with the pink and red stripe in the pillows. Such a great combination! I've never painted outdoor furniture before. If you find out why they peeled so badly I'd be interested to know for future reference.

I love the colour on your chairs! Keep it :)

Thanks Amy & Marie for your vote on keeping the key lime color! and if I can figure out what I did wrong on painting the chairs, I'll definitely let you know Amy.

What great chairs. I would say paint them another color! I'm all for things changing. New season new color. I'm addicted to the peach/apricot color that would be great against the greens of the plants and the flagstone.

Thanks for sharing your opinion Priscilla. I hadn't thought of peach or apricot. Red had crossed my mind tho?? (if I didn't stick with the green) I need to adopt your "new season, new color" attitude ~ sometimes I just stick with the tried & true....

Those chairs look fabulous in that color. I say keep it! And yes it does look like a magazine shot.
