Craigslist Patio Table Makeover
Sunday, September 01, 2013
Outdoor dining in the summer is one of my favorite things to do, how about you?
I desperately need a patio dining table and chairs so that I can do that!
My back patio has a very nice Sun-setter roll-out awning and a 4-piece lounge set with a love seat, two rocking arm-chairs, and a coffee table... but I don't have a table to eat at.
That's about to change now because I just found one on Craigslist for $10!
Here it is, just one of the plain looking metal tables with the mesh top... but only $10!
Not bad... but kind of boring. Hunter green is not my thing either and you can see in the picture below that the paint was starting to flake off.
So I painted it!!
BRIGHT, in your face, eye-popping YELLOW! Booyah!!!
Then I gathered these vintage folding chairs I found at an antique show... they were only $7 for all 4 of them!
I added a market umbrella in white that I found on Wayfair.com.
Cost for my new outdoor dining area:

Looks great Tania and I love the bright yellow! Such a happy color. The umbrella is very nice and such a great pride!

I have that exact same table plus the 4 matching chairs! I have had them for years and - would you believe??? - they were YELLOW when I bought them new? They have since changed color more than once, twice or thrice! Great post and I will be getting a fresh NEW can of spray paint in a fresh NEW color I haven't used before! Perhaps RED?
