My Back Porch

The past few weeks I have been working on my back porch. I have been obsessed with it is to say the least. I finished the staining of the concrete part but not quite through with the painting of the chairs. I have about 13 metal bouncers. {That's what I call them.} Most are old and rusty. I found them at garage sales and flea markets. Some are usable, some are way to rusty to sit in. I had them scattered all about my yard for decoration.

In this picture I painted two bouncers white and the lounger white. They were white to begin with, but the rust was showing through. I also painted the cupboard. It was really neat before. The old paint was chipping. I decided it needed to be painted mainly for  protection. This is what it looked like before. It has been like this for years. I had it on my porch all along, but with the new floor I felt it needed a face lift.

Here are two of my favorite rusty bouncers. No one would sit in them before so I decided to varnish them. They are in really good shape. They are sturdy enough for my hubby to sit in, so now they are usable. I love the rust and the old layers of paint showing through. They look really pretty on my rusty concrete floor.

This is  the other heart back bouncer painted white. I did not paint the cart. Maybe next year. It's not that bad.

My patio table set pictured here. I did not paint these. A little rust is showing but I like the rust. I bought it like this. I will probably not paint it for a while.

Last but not least my red bouncers from my mom. They needed a face lift too. They were red originally, but faded and ugly.

I 'll post pictures of the others as I finish them. For now I'm taking a break. I really need to concentrate on my etsy shop.
Hope you all had a great Mothers Day!

P.S.   I still did not find my rings. :(
