Child Adirondack Chair

Happy Victoria Day!

Here in Canada we're relaxing with a nice long weekend. I hope you are enjoying yourself. Today I have something great to show you today.

When I was at my parent's last week for Mother's Day, my Dad saw this cute little chair across the road. It was set on the curb, ready to be picked up by the garbage truck. I hurried over there and quickly saved it from destruction. My Mom has a few adirondack chairs by the pool and I thought my niece would love one that was just her size.

I grabbed some sand paper, Apple Red spray paint, a paintbrush, and some grey acrylic paint. I started by sanding down the chair, wiping it down with a damp cloth, and then spray painting it.

I wanted to add a little something to the chair to make it pop. I found some grey acrylic paint and added some vines.

I can't believe how great it turned out.


I will take some pictures of the chair by the pool when I go to my parents' next. I think my niece will love having her own chair to sit on.

Happy Crafting,

PS: Here's where we link up.
