Let’s get outside!

We are back on our home improvement saga. After about a month of taking a break, we are back on track. Well, I should say John is back on track :)

I have been searching for a used patio table on craigslist and couldn’t find anything we like.We were at Target the other day and stumbled upon a clearance patio table. It was $124 and marked down to about $76. We got another 10% off due to some scratches under the table. Sweet. You can’t really notice the scratches anyway. It is located under the table and so insignificant. We jumped at the offer and took this big guy home the next day.

John set it up right away once we got home. My mother-in-law gifted us a patio umbrella that she no longer uses. We put it up to use right away. The previous owner left behind an umbrella stand and 4 chairs, which works perfect with the table.

 

Here’s the 4 green chairs we inherited. The color doesn’t match our table, so John spray painted them. Here he is prepping them for a new face lift.

 

The closest color he got from Lowes. He used 3 cans for these 4 chairs and an umbrella stand.

The umbrella stand getting ready for a facelift too.

All done! The color is as close as we can get. Now I can’t wait to spend time at our new space.

And oh ya! Here’s how the umbrella looks like. It’s a little wrinkly. It hasn’t been used for years by my parents in law and finally we can put them to good use! We are lucky that we are able to inherit the chairs, umbrella and umbrella stand. The one thing we really needed to buy was just the table! Sweet!
