Red Alert

Summertime means sitting outside, sipping a frosty glass of lemonade, watching as hummingbirds flit past, smelling the heady aroma of freshly cut grass, and relaxing in your favorite lawn chair as the cool breeze caresses your face. So I’ve heard. I don’t actually leave my house during the summer or my face will melt off.

So I will enjoy the idea of YOU sitting outside, and here are some inspirational patio furniture makeovers to get you jazzed on the idea too.

First from Amanda at Mommy is Coocoo who salvaged this vintage chair. I’m all for a weathered patina, but this thing looked like it had fought in the war. Of 1812. At least none of the neighbors were likely to steal it, so it had that going for it. Much better in a shiny coat of red though, I’d say.

I also once featured her vintage rocker makeover before, but heck why not show it again?! Such a great find! See it on her blog here.

These chairs were somewhat depressing. The left one looks like it’s using an invisibility cloak to avoid being seen. But our hero Red Spray Paint came to the rescue again with his trusty sidekick Snazzy Fabric, and they saved the day, nay, the whole summer! Hooray! From Beck at Beckwith’s Treasures.
