A Chair Project

Yesterday I finally completed a project I have been meaning to do for a while. It was to repaint two old folding chairs we have on our covered deck. They flank the picnic table we use for dining (Hawaii having such lovely weather year-round, we barely ever use our dining room). The picnic table is brown. The chairs were brown. They blended in, which is not necessarily a bad thing.  I, however, wanted to make them pop. 

Here is one of the chairs. First task was to sand off

the remains of the old varnish.

These photos were actually taken midway through sanding. 

Voila! The finished chair. Bright, you say?

That's exactly what my family's reaction was. 

"Whoa, that is blue!"

It seems they will have to get used to the

new pop of color on the deck.

As for me, I love how they inject a bright blue into

all the browns and greens of the space.

Here they are, my "new" chairs at the table. I am very happy with

how this little project turned out!

We have two more chairs in the garage. One of these days I may take a paint brush to those two also... What do you think? Is this blue too bright for you? It is such a happy color.
