Have you ever been driving down the road and something catches your eye? {It’s ok. This is a safe place. We won’t tell.} You pull an illegal U-turn and head back towards your treasure. Thus, began this love affair with these Ice Cream Parlor Chairs. I just couldn’t help myself. It was like a magnet drew me to them – moth to the flame. I even managed to talk her down $10 per chair. The table was not included but I was determined to make these goodies mine and create my own DIY Ice Cream Parlor Set!
Isn’t is gorgeous?! I love the bright red against my navy and poppy cushions! {Stay tuned for that tutorial tomorrow!}
If you follow me on Instagram, you saw what these babies looked like when I brought them home. Chipped white paint and some light rust but I can see past outer appearances. I knew there was beauty there just waiting to get out!
Click here to see what they looked like to begin with!
I began by sanding them down with steel wool. Just enough to get the paint chips off and smooth it out.
Once I had everything smooth, I took them out back for their first of many coats of spray primer.
Then I applied several coats of Krylon Fusion in Red Pepper.
After everything was covered with the pop of red, I applied a clear polyurethane top coat to make it weather resistant.
I cannot tell you how excited I am about this set! I am completely, head over heels in love with my DIY Ice Cream Parlor Set! {Can you sense my excitement with all of the exclamation points? LOL}
Stay tuned in the next couple of weeks! I will teach you how to make these simple round table cushions and tell you the story of that little table. {wink wink}
