A little project

Image
Several years ago my family gave me a swing.  Rocking and swinging are very relaxing to me, so the swing is probably my favorite piece of outdoor furniture.  The years haven't been kind to my swing so I decided it was time for a little furniture remodel.  While I was at it, I decided to see if I could give these cheap little tables a new use.  First some scrubbing and cleaning. Once everything was dry, I could begin painting.  I chose a blue paint which would coordinate with the color of the shutters and doors on the house, and the umbrella on the deck. Once the paint was dry, I put the swing in place and set up my little space.  We will add a fire pit and a few chairs, and then we can enjoy this new spot.  It's located in a place that sees early afternoon shade, and looks back up toward the house, with a view of the whole back yard.
