CEA's progress report #5
Item #20. Paint black iron chairs and Item #21. Paint green bistro chairs
I love having parties! They get me focused on getting things done. I've wanted to get these two sets of my uncle's chairs refurbished ever since I took them out of the barn a year ago. The approaching May 1st luncheon gave me the impetus to get the painting done. I hosed down both sets of chairs, then sanded the green bistro chairs before spray painting them hunter green. I had to hand paint the black iron chairs because of the woven straw seats and backs. The bistro chairs needed a second coat of paint, but the iron chairs only needed a bit of touching up. Eight chairs painted!
During these past two days of painting, I also spray painted the propane tank in the back yard, giving it two coats of white paint on the body and a single coat of blue on the cap. It looks so much better painted than rusty! I also painted two black wrought iron plant holders.
I'm trying to fight the urge to paint my bathroom floor.
