I am so ready
to relax in one of these
this summer...
or at least I love the thought of it.
You know...
the warm sun,
a cool drink,
flip flops,
sunglasses,
and a great place to lounge.
Adirondack chairs are always good for that.
They looked like this to start.
I wanted to try grey stain this year.
But after two coats
it was still more transparent than I had in mind.
It looked like this:
I decided to add some white paint.
I double dipped -
half of my brush in white paint
and
half of my brush in grey stain
and brushed it on.
I really like what happened.
Because they don't mix,
there was a separation of color.
That was just the worn wood look I wanted.
Like an old weathered dock.
Added some summer red detail...
Sprayed with an outdoor sealer.
Last year I used Red and Blue Stain...
You can read about that Here.
The grey and red chairs
will be raffled locally.
Someone will get a relaxing summer seat.
Always appreciate my friends who stop by!
