Taming the Bistro (Set)

How’s the weather in your part of the world?  Finally warming up?  Are you itching to sit outdoors and enjoy the sunshine, a breeze on your face, cool glass of lemonade in hand?  Mmm, that DOES sound nice.  I think I’ll join you.  But first, let’s give your patio furniture a quick refreshing, because it’s probably looking a little shabbier than you remembered.

Here’s one idea from Linda at Burlap and Blue, who gave this table a quick update with … you’ll never guess.  Wallpaper?  Nope.  Contact paper? No way.  Wrapping paper?  Ding ding ding!  Yep, that’s nothing more than wrapping paper coated with outdoor Mod Podge.  Brilliant.

Now that Shelly at 100 Things 2 Do has also updated her metal bistro set with a glossy aqua spray paint, she can use it to sit outside and enjoy the weather that’s perfect for spray painting!  It’s like the circle of life, or something.
