No Strip or Sand Stained Dining Chairs

I wanted new dining chairs for my own home to go with our antique Duncan Phyfe style dining table  I restored. Previously we had leather parson's chairs but I have always loved the look of wooden pressback chairs so this is what I chose to replace them with. And I am going to stain them WITHOUT stripping and sanding! I had 2 sets of press back chairs in my stock to paint, now to decide which set. My husband and I did a comfort sitting test and of course visual and went with the slightly larger ones on the left. This set also has 2 captains chairs as a bonus.

Metal Yard Art gets Sprayed


I found this cute metal yard stake on sale at Costco. It was ok in the faux rust color but being a painter I found it boring. Luckily I had a can of Krylon spray paint on hand in a favorite color, sea glass. (Be sure to check other spray painted projects at the bottom)


I assembled it and seeing it was a stake it worked perfect to spray stuck in the ground.
Wanting just the petals painted I taped off the center with painters tape


And sprayed away under the careful eye of my support team


Remove the tape and it is complete


an easy solution to create a one of a kind piece of art in my yard


The fun color gives my yard the perfect punch of color.


Here are a few other items I used Krylon spray paint on to make pretty
