design time: vintage bar cart

I'm sitting on my deck this morning making good use of my latest project. Earlier this week I snagged a vintage bar cart from my local goodwill for $8.99. The shiny brass and faux wood grain may of deterred some, but I knew it was nothing my trusty Valspar spray paint couldn't handle. I absolutely love Valspar paint. I've used it all over my house on walls and furniture, and I've spray painted nearly every outdoor table I have with their Mediterranean blue. If you keep your color palette simple, it will look like all your vintage finds are custom made just for you!

in the making: deck chairs

These deck chairs from Gallant & Jones are adorable. They're made in Canada and are a little pricy for my budget. I'll be looking for a vintage frame online to refurbish and cover myself. If all else fails, maybe I'll put my (soon to be discovered) woodworking skills to use.
