How to Paint Vintage Metal Chairs

I have had these chairs for years. They were old when I got them! I have painted them several times, but the paint just chips right off. This time, I took all of the right steps to make that paint hold on tight!

  • Dictionary page & chalkboard walls give the entryway a vintage look for about $20.

Book Page Entryway Walls

Our entryway had cheap, old, ugly paneling which made for a unpleasant entry into the house. Rather than tear it out and replace it, I covered the walls with vintage dictionary pages. See the before, during and after in the blog post.

Crafts: Can someone tell me the paint that glows in the dark on your planters?

It's a spray paint, it was on a post not long ago and now I can't find it. Thank you in advance.

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'm Feeling Aqua Blue

Aqua Blue....Turquoise....very similar colors....sometimes I think the color terms are interchangeable. I'm calling this makeover aqua blue. Sometimes I have small furniture pieces and ...»
lots of small things like frames and I plan to paint them all the same color. So I just have a fun few hours and paint all of them at once!! It's a real time saver to do it that way. I painted all these pieces in just a few hours in my carport.

Painted Kitchen Cabinet Details

After posting my kitchen tour, many people have asked what paint I used on the cabinets! I'm so happy many of you liked them. I used Sherwin Williams Cashmere paint. I blogged about all of the details.

Painting: Vintage Chaise What Color to Paint

Should I paint this it's original white? I also have a glass top table to match. In great shape and the chaise has good wheels. Would it be best in a nice white enamel or a color? The ironwork on the arms and foot of the chaise are great.

    What a find! You might want to pick out your cushions first because you will find there is a ...»
    wide range of prices out there! Then look at the Rustoleum 2X bright colors! I am attaching a photo of my porch I painted out last year. Be sure and post photos. (P.S. Your tile is about the same color as the paint on my porch). Live it up and go for color! I then went around the yard and repainted all my bird houses and cages, dulled and dirty yard thingies and it turned out beautiful. I used acrylic cheapo paint in small bottles from Michaels!


    • I used chartruese, orange, yellow, pink, grape, red (on sewing machine table behind swing) and added even more color in accessories!
    • See how dull this was!
