hey sunburst yellow. you're pretty.

remember those chairs we thrifted last week? 

well, they got a color make over this past weekend. we were stoked that ace hardware was giving away free clark + kensington paint so we headed on over and brought home with us a quart of sunburst yellow. one of the best decisions ever. period. the color is amazing. 

we spent most of sunday painting and let it dry over night. by monday our eat in area looked new and so so bright. i cleaned this little corner of our rental and re-did our wall. this space is beginning to be one of my favorite places to hang out. this is seriously an improvement from our old ikea table, camping chair and bar stool {please refer back to this post}. 

can't wait for our next thrifting and restoration adventure. {and also our ongoing hunt for the perfect dining table.}

  6. The yellow chairs really make your home look so much happier! That's cute how your dog decided to join you, while you were painting.

    Also, who knew Ace Hardware gave out free paint?

  10. Your wood deck looks like such a fun place to sit on and hang out! I love the sunny color as well. Wish I had the patience and time to paint some chairs and redo some spaces in our home. We are thinking of hiring a painter to repaint our walls! I think your home is coming along quite nicely! -Jess L P.S I have the same stool from IKEA. In fact, much of our furniture is from IKEA.
