In college Jeremy had a saying:
"Beauty is only a light switch away."
{pre-Heather days, for sure}
As ridiculous as this slogan was,
it's fairly similar to my current decorating philosophy:
"Beauty is only a can of spray paint away."
These chairs were screaming for a new coat of paint.
The only before picture I had.
The peach just wasn't doing it for me anymore.
I rescued the table from my own garbage.
Yes, I threw it away after letting it sit untouched in the garage for a few months.
(it was a cast-off from someone else that found a temporary home in our garage)
Later that night I realize my mistake.
And next morning I tipped the mondo green garbage can on it's side and climbed on in.
Sick, I know.
However, I think the transformation more than makes up for my dumpster diving experience.
Seafoam blue and oil rubbed bronze make a great pairing.
The total was less than 13 dollars,
yet it gives the porch a million dollar punch.

You rock! Those look awesome. Way to get a new look for under $15!
I love getting my spray paint on. It is quick and really does a great job. I love both pieces.
The chairs look great! I actually can't imagine your porch without your chairs sitting there!
The table turned out cute! Totally worth dumpster diving for.
That looks fantastic! I so envy people with vision to see a finished project and then do it.
