Giving my wicker a facelift and making water proof pillows....

I've been working so hard around the yard lately that I haven't cleaned up my decks yet. Most of it is such an easy fix, that I decided to tackle a portion of my front deck today.

My two wicker chairs were fading and the paint was peeling. In addition, the pillows were pretty dirty and musty on the outside. If you are anything like me, you do not bring pillows or cushions in every time it rains. Although our deck has a roof, they are still affected by the elements of the weather.

My quick fix was one can of 99 cent Wal-Mart black spray paint and a $4.99 vinyl table cloth from TJ MAAX (only $4.99 and I still have half of it left for a future project).

Because I was only touching the chairs up, it only took about 5 minutes to spray them. I recovered the pillows with the material from the table cloth. That took me about a half hour, but if you can actually sew, I'm sure it can be done quicker.

I'll be sure to share the rest of the deck when it is done.
