Old Metal Lawn Chairs get a new look!

Hi Ladies.  I've always had a thing for old metal lawn chairs.  There's just something about them that makes me all nostalgic for my childhood.  Well this pic was my inspiration!  I love the different colors and of course the flowers in the background add to the charm. 

Here's the picnic table hubby re-did a few weeks ago. You can read about that by clicking here.  And in the background you can see my vintage metal lawn chairs. They were an auction find and I think I paid about $15 for the two of them.   Dan had painted them red a few years ago however they were beginning to chip and fade a bit.  Now this husband of mine  is an avid painter, and  believe me when I say, nothing stays too chipped or faded for long around here.  He just absolutely loves to paint!
Which is a good thing, since I don't mind painting but I can't say I love it.
And he also knew I wanted an array of colorful lawn chairs.

Newly painted blue chair!

And newly painted yellow chair!

I love the new look, they just say happy to me!

 So I'm really digging my old/new vintage chairs.  Dan used a good primer and then rustoleum spray paint.
He used a paintbrush on the arms and legs.  
We also ordered an umbrella off the Internet for our picnic table.  We did a bit of research and found a pretty good deal. 

So now we have a nice umbrella to sit under when we decide to picnic out here. He drilled a hole with a spade bit (whatever that is) and by doing so, the umbrella has a nice tight fit and no weight is needed.    We tend to use our front porch when it's just the two of us.   But it's nice to have this area when we have company, especially when all the kiddies in my family come to visit. So we've been working on it a little at a time.  I have more ideas and if my hubby wants to paint, I know I can keep him busy for like decades.
I've been working on the menu and decorations for my daughter's  baby shower.  I 'v gotten a lot of great ideas from fellow bloggers and just the Internet in general. 
That's one of the wonderful things about blogging.  We are able to inspire and help each other is so many ways.  I am so grateful for all  the friendships I have made.  So go out and have a great week everyone and thanks for all the inspiration!
