Outdoor furniture makeover

This is a "medium size" project I want to share with you today: a table and chairs refurbishment and new look. A few years exposed to weather result damaging on any piece of wood, even treated and/or varnished. It was actually uncomfortable to sit due to the rough wood flakes on the chairs.  I just love these kind of works; you just don't give back a great aspect to the wood but also create effects with the paint to achieve the result.  Be my guest checking out the before and after pics and tutorial afterwards. Hope you enjoy...

Upcycled shutters - Part I

Most of the works have been done on the shutters rescued from the trash. It’s been a long and hard work as no paint stripping is strong enough to remove lacquer; it has been a nightmare and I only could remove and age using the heat gun.
Check out the makeover for a cozy corner.
