Painting Wicker Patio Furniture

What is it about moving into a new place that gets us all excited?  The prospects, the dreams, ideas and then truly making it a home.  It is like a fresh start, a way to do all the things you have always wanted to do.  So you know what that means. It’s time to search the web and look for inspiration and the possibilities are endless.

Once we moved in my “To Do” list has grown by a miles and miles.  One project that I already started was painting wicker patio furniture that my Mom had given to us.  Then, of course, I also wanted to make covers for the existing cushions, but that will come next.

The wicker furniture was white with rose colored cushions which definitely needed an update.  I chose KONA coffee color by Rust-o-leum, I bought the 2x double coat, glossy.  All in all I used about 8 cans of paint, not bad considering new furniture is well into the hundreds of dollars plus I saved money with the True Value hardware coupons I used.
