On my front porch


Aw, much better.



Another Goodwill find - we spend the majority of our time outside at home in the front yard so I thought we needed a chair for the front porch (shaded by our grapes). Somewhere to sit and read magazines while the boys dig in the dirt . . .


I thought spray paint would make it look better, but I picked the wrong color. I thought "Almond" would be a light brown, but its really just "dirty cream" - actually it just looks "dirty" because the chair's original color is still showing through (note: need more than 1 can of spray paint) .



I chose the chair/cushion colors with our "new" house color in mind - "Avocado" green. Here it is beside our current yellow (these colors don't look like they do in real life).

Cute pillow. Just spray it again, I bet you'll like it much better.

I like it dark brown...so is it still dark brown or the almond...I got lost in the blog.
Also, you finally picked a green I see. When does the paint project begin?

Its the dark brown - that was the update I added to the top. I like it and think it will look good with our green house. Paint project is scheduled to begin on August 10th - wish us luck! :)
