Painting projects!

A while back, I posted about getting this chair that belonged to my sweety's grandmother. My Granny also had a similar chair on her front porch. Last weekend, I started re-painting it.
While I worked on this chair, my sweety did some repair painting on our patio dining set.

First came the prep work, treating a few rust spots and sanding.

Next came the main color. I used Rustoleum Seafoam Green.

Then came masking off the main part of the chair. I discovered that I had used up my favorite blue painter's tape. I had to settle for plain masking tape.
And finally, the "new" chair! I love it!

Ya'll Come Back!
