Good Morning Everyone!
Today, I’m excited to show you the cutest little chair makeover! A little while back a dear, old Grandma friend of ours gave us these 4 metal chairs. They were in well-used and well-loved condition and my husband and I kinda looked at each other and wondered what we’d ever do with them. And right now we’re in the middle of some deck upgrades and these chairs came to mind! With a little bit of paint, they would provide extra seating for our deck!
I gave them a good scrub with soap and water first. It was a hot day and they dried in the sun in no time at all! Here they are before…
They must have originally belonged to someone with the initials SA. It’s kind of neat how it’s stamped right through them!
I bought 4 cans of Krylon spray paint at Walmart. The colors we chose were:
This spray paint was fabulous to work with. It was a primer and paint all in one and I got excellent coverage. The first two chairs I did outside on an extremely hot day. The next two were done the next day when it wasn’t so hot and I must have 1/4 of paint left in the last two cans. (Just a heads up as it seemed like I was going to run out on the hot day!)
We gave them 2 coats and then just touched up where it needed to. I love how colorful they are now! Our little ones are already calling dibs on who gets which color! They’ll be handy just to have for extras when we have a bunch of company out on the deck… we’ve moved our dining room chairs outside when we ran out of deck chairs so these will be so handy!
and another one just because…
I think these would make such a fun photo prop as well!
Thanks so much for coming by! Hope you have a great rest of the week!

Those are so pretty. I love colors. Those chairs probably came from the Salvation Army. But, that makes them more special.
I love your chairs! These are fantastic!
Thank you Katie! Aren’t they so fun now? 🙂 Thanks so much for stopping by and hope you have a great week!
Thanks so much Katie! So glad you came by 🙂
How cute! I was on the lookout for some wood folding chairs this past summer to replace the plastic ones I threw away. They were gross after years of being outside and I wanted something that would be easy to store. I never thought about metal chairs…..They may be easier to find since I never did find four matching wood ones. I love that really closeup picture of the chairs with the sky in the background! And can I just say, that I love that you are sharing some older posts at our party….It is getting me caught up on what I didn’t see in the past 🙂
Thanks so much Jamie! I bet you could find old metal ones at a garage sale or antique place! So glad you stopped by! xo
I’m totally doing this to our metal chairs!
Good luck Havalah! So fun to use these colors!
Thanks for sharing your adorable chairs at our Outdoor Extravaganza link party- I am featuring you tomorrow!
Thanks, Krista! Made my day 🙂 Thanks so much for coming by, friend!
These are adorable and the colors are just perfect! Yes, your photos are amazing too 😀
Thank you so much!! I appreciate your kind words soo muh!! Have a great week!
The colors are beautiful. I’ll be adding folding chairs to my thrift shop/yard sale list. My granddaughter would love them for her tea parties. Please share your posts on my Sunday’s Best Linkup. We’re live starting at 8:00 PM EST every Saturday. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks so much, Rhonda!I hope you find your own! I just saw my friend found some at a thrift shop the other day 🙂 Heading over to link up at your party 🙂
