My Front Patio Transformation...... One Thing Leads to Another!

OK, how many of you have been down this road?  You take a few minutes out of your day to do one little thing and then one thing leads to another, and another, and another..

This is the story of how I got to this..

  

When I started with this?

It all began when I found out I was the lucky and excited winner of this enamel address sign from Debbiedoo's blog giveaway

I went out and put the sign over my mail box.  It looked mighty fine!  Then I noticed my mail box was looking a little worse for the wear!

So, I just spruce it up with a little paint 

Much better!

I stood back to admire my work and realized the front door was looking a little, well, black.  Not a problem, I just made a door hangy thing

Lookin better but, wait....Goodness I could not believe how much the chair covers had faded.

 Three years ago these chairs had bright pink flamingos on them. 

 Blame it on the blazing Florida sun!

OK, I got the chairs recovered, much better!

Oh no, look at this dreary little corner of the patio, wow those pillows have really faded

Then when I lifted that little wicker table the legs fell off LOL!   

I painted the planter with the mail box red paint and a new pillow


Ok, now we're getting somewhere!  

I need just a little somethin more

A little more red paint and a bright green watering can


Perfect!  

I'm done!

I admit, this is not the biggest or the best transformation on the web

But, for me, a girl who's blog consists mainly of white and soft pink, using bright colors was a real stretch!

I swear to you, I was feeling the spirit of Debbiedoo and nothing but color would do!

Let me explain, Debbie's blog is full of color, in her house, out of her house, and even the colorful way she writes her blog

So Debbiedoo, this one's for you! 

Thank You!

Happy Creating

Carol
