I saw this picture once on a friend's Facebook page. (I'm sorry that I don't know who to give proper credit to for the original picture.)
While I no longer live in the south, I am still a Southern girl at heart and swingin' is definitely therapy for my soul!
My swing is several years old and was just about worn out! When I saw the Lowe's challenge for June, I knew right away that my swing would be part of that makeover!
Here she is, ugly as can be! |
Isn't this much better? I can't believe the difference a little paint made! For the swing and the frame, I hand painted using Rust-oleum Professional High performance Enamel in Flat Black, (after I used spray primer). I tried using a cheap sponge brush and it didn't work very well with this paint. I upgraded to the Wooster sponge brush, (purchased at Lowe's), and it did an awesome job with no streaking!
Please overlook my dead grass and plants! Indiana has been in a severe drought.
I also spray painted a small side table that was hunter green and was a part of the original patio set in Part One.
I am so thankful to Lowe's for providing me with the resources to do this project! A little paint made a huge difference and now my old swing will continue to provide soul therapy for a while longer!

Amazing what a little paint can do. It has been too hot to be outside much this summer. Your swing does look inviting.
