This comes from the “not that there was anything wrong with it before, but I got bored” files. I inherited this patio furniture from my parents when they upgraded to a new wrought iron set a few years ago. While browsing at Lowes, I discovered Valspar “Mediterranean” spray paint and just had to find SOMETHING to do with it.
First I took the table apart (no small task… there were a lot of screws in that sucker!!). Then I cleaned it thoroughly and spray painted the white frame with the aformentioned Mediterranean paint. Next I cut a piece of vinyl tablecloth fabric that I found at Hancock’s to size and used a spray adhesive to attach it to the table top. Finally, I put it all back together, and voila! New and pretty!

I imagine it has probably faded a little, but not that I can tell just by looking at it.
