The 3 R's of Recycling - Reduce, Reuse & REPAINT!!!

I love color in my life and enjoy painting.  Our backyard is a display of just how much this is true.  We built a deck two summers ago and I've decorated the area with multiple colors,  fabrics and textures.  This year when we put out the deck furniture I took one look at our outdoor dining table and knew it either had to go or get some sort of facelift.  Here is how I look at paint and color - go for it!  If at first you don't like the outcome then paint again!

You can see from the pictures at the bottom of this post the metal on the chairs had faded over time.  I was never a fan of the tiles that came with the table and thought the paint would either adhere and look good or I'd be begging "Todd the Builder" to cut down some new tile for me.

I initially painted all the tiles yellow and the table a bright red but found it just didn't look quite right so I mixed in some orange tiles and painted the chair frames the same color.  I'm quite please with the outcome - much more cheerful and fits in with the chair pads and umbrella.  What happens when I have to get new pads and an umbrella?  Yep - more paint!
