My sweet friend Brook found this swing on the side of the road. One man's trash...ya know?
We started by sanding it with the orbital sander just to get the chippy off. (I never thought I'd say "get the chippy off") Somethings are just nasty, old, chippy though. We just wanted to take the old flaky paint off not making it smooth like a baby's bottom.
Sanded and ready for primer.
She picked this beautiful aqua turquoise color to match her super cute seat cushions on her outdoor chairs. Now she's got a great looking and functional swing for the cost of a quart of paint!
I love it!

Oh I love it!! The color is gorgeous! I don't know if I'd rather sit in the swing or jump in the pool! What a great makeover!
