Road Rescue & Thrift Shop Outdoor Furniture Redos

In preparation of outdoor spaces for the summer, there is nothing more exciting than being frugal about it.  I have a mix; from some of my very old iron patio seating to roadside and thrift shop upcycles. Each summer, I add or change things to make our outdoor living spaces come together. 

This year we are adding our "new" curb alert pieces. Road Rescue! 

A little cleaning and painting for a new life at a new home.

This bar stool will be added to a high top piece I built last summer. I'll add that post later when I finish the concrete countertop.

Just a couple of coats of outdoor black spray paint...

made these road side pieces match up with my old wrought iron set.  (I'll be posting the whole deck and patio tour here soon.)

Discarded and old is wanted and new again.

Then at the same time, my thrift shop snag to add to the mix is this iron scrolled coffee table. Patio perfect!

Well, not perfect yet. Red splattered touches aren't my style. It looks like it came from a TV crime scene.

Black to go with the rest of my mix and match outdoor space.

Our older camp chair was green. Spray paint changed that too while I was at it. 

Now, placed on the deck at my grilling area. 

(I'm the grill-cook-queen and I wanted to have a little setting in the grill-throne-zone.  The "grill throne" is recycled landscaping block and then a concrete pour project along with some lattice panels. A how to and photos to follow. )

This became perfect for sipping lemonade or wine while grilling dinner. 

The table is quite large and heavy. I love the details of the iron. It makes a nice focal point while having morning coffee. Well, that and the garden pond I built here, the flowers, birds, frogs, and on and on...

This weeks special co-host is (drum roll): Robin from Redo It Yourself Inspirations!!

"I've always had the tendency to be motivated and easily inspired to be creative. It's the way I've been molded. I'm Adirondack born and raised; way up north New York near Canada. I'm the daughter of a master craftsman cabinet maker and a thrifty crafty lady. Expanding my horizons into the Capital District of the New York area, I carry my roots with me. My new journey started when my husband and I bought a real fixer upper home a few years ago. I have had no choice but to dive in and get back into the do-it-yourself mode full force." 

Check her blog for the rest of the story!
