Patio Set

We recently rehabbed 4 patio chairs and patio table for a patio set for our back deck. I did a bad job getting before and during pics, but you get the point. :-)

Our next door neighbor was cleaning out his garage and asked if we wanted a free patio table. Of course! It was rusty and faded mint green but no matter to us. We were on the lookout for one. Zachary took it apart and brushed off the rusty bits.


Over the winter, my parents found us a deal on 4 patio chairs at a rummage sale. They were in fairly good shape, just missing seats. So they have been sitting around our backyard waiting for a table. When the table was found, the project was on!

We headed to Jo-Anns to find seat cushions and fabric. We ended up with green canvas that was 50% off and cushion foam was 50% off too. It was our first time doing an upholstery project and it went together real easy. Although ours was simple, I look forward to trying it again with more complicated upholstery projects.


We used Rust-Oleum black hammered finish spray paint on the chairs and the table.



Project complete! I like how it turned out. I also love the fact we didn't spend an arm and a leg for a patio set. With the fabric, foam and paint, we spent about $80. I would like to find an umbrella for it eventually, in case we put it on the non-covered part of the deck.
