I am happy to report that I have officially completed my first real before and after project (that wasn't just a matter of organization and decorating). I bought the supplies last June to redo this set, but life got in the way and I just now got around to this project. I made a spontaneous, quick trip home this past weekend and decided that instead of studying, I should make this set (left behind by the previous owners) pretty. So here we go!
Before... Worn and Rusty
And After!
And how about a little close-up action:
Serious Rust
Ahh yes, happiness.
I am so excited! It is now safe to sit in the chairs and have coffee dates on lovely mornings with my husband. Sadly I haven't had one yet because I had to get back to school, but soon enough!
