Then, I covered all of the fabric seating areas with newspaper, making sure to cover the back sides of the chairs as well as the front sides.

I have to share that I am a big fan of Rust-Oleum spray paint for projects and have used it often. So, I was thrilled to find Rust-Oleum Universal Enamels Spray Paint with a comfortable trigger grip at Loews. This spray paint not only does a great job, but it also eliminates drips and pointer finger exhaustion!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_250\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/roomsdesigned.com\/intouch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_9288.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-250\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-250 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/roomsdesigned.com\/intouch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_9288-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_9288\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/roomsdesigned.com\/intouch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_9288-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/roomsdesigned.com\/intouch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_9288-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-250\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Before spray paint.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_286\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/roomsdesigned.com\/intouch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_9296.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-286\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-286 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/roomsdesigned.com\/intouch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_9296-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_9296\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/roomsdesigned.com\/intouch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_9296-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/roomsdesigned.com\/intouch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_9296-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-286\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">After spray paint.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_287\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/roomsdesigned.com\/intouch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_9298.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-287\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-287 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/roomsdesigned.com\/intouch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_9298-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_9298\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/roomsdesigned.com\/intouch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_9298-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/roomsdesigned.com\/intouch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_9298-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-287\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The table and chairs are ready for summer!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spring is finally here and it&#8217;s time to dust off the patio furniture!
