Before and after- garden chairs and table.

My kind neighbour has a low boredom-threshold regarding furniture .This results quite often- to my delight- in unexpected windfalls for me!!Bless her!!

She gave me 6 of these garden chairs in bits with the screws and all the dovels and whatever they are called-so I put them back together again. They were in need of a bit of paint or make-over, that was all. What colour to go for? Go the Cath Kidston route and go for pale blue? Standard white- the classic and slightly boring solution ?? I could not decide on colour and put them aside for a bit to have a think.
I already had a table which was old and pretty but without chairs. That table I had rescued from an old couple who wanted it "chopped up for firewood"  .They were quite suprised I wanted it .
Here is one of the chairs in the " before " stage.

In the end I decided for Cooking Apple Green from Farrow and Ball.Not as glaring in the full sun as plain white , and a nice rustic and gentle colour.
Below the "after" pictures.

I was pretty pleased with the result. Apart from putting the chairs together, cleaning and scrubbing them, and giving them a couple of coats of paint , that was IT.
Whay kind of project are you working on ??
I look foward to your feed-back!!
