Oops ...

If you don't know about the "Oops" paint ... you're missing out.  Any time I find myself in a store that sells paint, I mosey on over to their Oops shelf.  The last time I was there, I picked up 2 gallons ... one was this outdoor wood / deck paint.  I knew I had to do something eventually with my patio furniture - restain  or replace.  But when I saw the price, the type of paint & the color ... I thought "I can do robin egg blue".  Yesterday, I went outside to sweep up all the acorns & leaves off the patio ... and painting the furniture on a beautiful day seemed like much more fun.  I had lots of visitors ... the new fresh look on the patio is a big hit with the cardinals, chipmunks & chickadees.  Well, maybe it's the fresh birdseed I put out in the bird feeder ... but they sure have a prettier backdrop now.  :)

Today we will have visitors of another kind ... my parents, sister, niece & nephews are coming!  Tonight we hope to have a little BBQ on the back patio.  And since I didn't get to the acorns & leaves yesterday ... I had better get goin'.  I have some sweeping to do.  Have a wonderful weekend!

When I told your dad you were painting the outdoor furniture, he said, "Kyle must be out of town." :-)

LOVE it. Seriously. Thanks for such a great idea. Definitely going to the oops section. I have a plan to paint my kitchen table red (one day). Oh yeah. RED.
