From Drab to Fab!!

I've been up to quite a few D.I.Y. projects.  I oops, I mean We recently dug a spot in our backyard to sit and just kinda hang out for the summer. Initially, when we purchased the house the backyard was all grass. We had no where to sit and if we wanted to put any furniture out, we would have to sit it on top of the grass. Which means we would have to deal with all the bugs, on top of more mosquito's in the yard and NO!  A Sista cant deal under those types of conditions! So I tried my hand at four, yes 4 different D.I.Y. projects to really enjoy summer in the comfort of my own backyard. I'll show you 3 for now, the fourth was kinda major and I'm yet to finish it.

Here's what I did... I took a outdoor plain rug that I purchased from Menards for $5.99 from Drab to Fab. Thanks to my dear friend Pintrest..... 
I used spray paint (white not shown) , Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch 2X Satin Green Apple and Satin Aqua. $5.99 Indoor/Outdoor rug from Menards and Plastic to stop all the little ooopsiees...


 
Used painters tape for my design pattern and then started to spray paint..

After I finished painting,  I removed the tape and Boom!!! Here it is!!
After the rug,  I moved on to the chairs. I used four of those cheap plastic chairs. 
I spray painted these old off white chairs and made them get their life!! I spray painted 2 of them Aqua and the other 2 Apple Green.

 I spray painted 2 of them Aqua and the other 2 Apple Green. (You'll see it in the end results)

Next. I moved on to the table. My mom gave me this Vintage iron glass table that she was no longer using but of course wants back now since she saw the end result. (Humph...insert side eye roll)


 I saw potential in it so what did I decide to do ? Yup, spray paint it!!  It looks like a brand new table. 


Here's my final results of a Drab to Fab backyard makeover......
