Picked up a 50+ year old wicker chair for $10. Still has good bones

Z on Sep 01, 2015If you are careful a wire brush would not be too harsh. Just go a bit slow to make sure there's no damage done. This Martha video should help you once you are ready to paint. If you have an air compressor you can get a less expensive sprayer instead of using canned spray paint.Helpful Reply

Darlene Odom on Sep 02, 2015I would not use the wire brush on wicker. A good old bristle brush would be better. The color is up to you but you can never go wrong with white and add tropical pillows. Then if you want to change according to seasons, etc. it is easy to do.Helpful Reply
