French Bistro Set FREE
Well I sanded it down and painted it an off white.
Nothing fancy , just paint that I had on hand.
Sanded some more .....
Well are you ready for the after...I know you are....
So here goes.
My first attempt . Too white.....
So I sanded some more
and painted on a gray mixture (black and white)
I'm much happier with the way it turned out.
Now my only dilemma is where is it going to stay.
Here out front in the hot sun
(that will help with the aging and help the paint to chip)
or on the back covered sun porch
or on the back deck......
Have a great week!
Linda

ReplyDeleteLinda, the bistro set looks fantastic! I love it! You will enjoy the set so much this summer.
ReplyDeleteIt turned out beautifully. I would probably put it in the shade cause I usualy want to sit in the shade with a cool drink after doing yard work:):) XO, Pinky I am new to your blog!
ReplyDeletePerfect! Why that is the most perfect a bistro set could be...Free and painted to perfection. Enjoy ...but most certainly in the shade!

I like the final finish that you put on your cute bistro set- I agree with you that the first color may have been too white! I'm sure you'll enjoy it wherever you put it out in the yard. Visiting from Sherry's party. :-) Sue
