Painting: To Paint or Not

I have a vintage iron chaise white with some rust. and a glass top table to match. Do I paint it? If so what color? I'm torn and need help with the decision. I'm open for all suggestions, it's in good shape with nice wheels

Thanks.

    I would do what Sia suggested and wire brush the rust, seal and then leave it alone (nice and ...»
    shabby but clean), you can always add bright fabric for cushions and pillows.

  • An old ironing board that I recently painted white makes a great out door vignette on the patio.
  • I plan to drill a small hole in the ironing board top to slip the hanger wire through so it won't blow off.
  • I used a laundry basket shaped container for the Rose Star Calibrachoa.

Pressing Garden Matters

I recently painted an old wooden ironing board to use on my patio in a vignette. #Summerstyle

    bar stools, using the stools as legs (sort of like a desk) paint all to match and using as serving sideboard outside or plant stand for an herb garden, you would probably want to seal everything with polyurethane.

Project We Did to Cover the Tree Roots in Our Yard.

Old tires we cleaned and painted, old tricycle painted, an old pot painted. It was hard mowing the grass with so many tree roots right there. A little work and it's beautiful.

  • so pretty!
  • using a clean glass jar, apply removable adhesive labels of your choice (i used round labels from the office supply store)
  • turn your jar upside down to prevent paint overspray + apply several light coats
  • once dry, gently remove the labels
  • add a layer of glass floral beads or sand. this protects your surface from heat damage from a long-burning candle
  • i love the playfulness of the dotted design
  • but he's even prettier as the sun sets! 1
