Painting

All the outdoor decorative furniture at the house is distressed wood.  The grey washed out wood makes for a very calm palet around the house . However, The outdoor conditions make paint peel, wood warp and allow bugs to wreak havoc. Slowly, we have been reclaiming these pieces. One of the large shelving units was our most recent rejuvenation. 

Rick spent a week replacing wood pieces and rebuilding the base. Water damage had almost claimed this piece but we were determined to save it. 

I power washed it and sanded it down.  I decided that it need some wood filler in spots and I used a whole can of that to fill all the holes.  Another sanding and it was ready for paint.
 

I spent three weeks painting.  A primer and a top coat and then decorative painting. It was a long, long process. It's done now, thank goodness! 

Here's the finished project.
