And I Saw Red, When I opened up the door...

anybody remember that Warrant song..I loved that song...and I love my new chairs!

I'm just a little fashionably late to the Paint-Outside-the-Black-Box-Party at Joys of Home.

I'm so glad Joy hosted this party, because we inherited these chairs last week...or I asked for them from Mr. Smarty's grandma who no longer needed them-something like that.

Any-who...I was all ready to go get more cans of my standard black spray when I saw the party. Why do they have to be black? Why not green or yellow or red? RED!!!!

And once I saw them primed, I wondered why I never considered grey? But I don't have anything grey in my house...I'll keep going with my planned red.



LOOOOVE IT!!!!
Next item to get some red...Baby's high chair!

    Ooohh! I love them painted red. They demand so much more attention than if they would have been black. They look so sweet and sassy! You made a very wise choice, my friend.
    Lots of luck finding a high chair to paint that fabulous red.
    I'm so glad you joined in---better late than never. Thanks!

    LOVE those chairs. I think you need a little red framed picture of the kids, or a chalkboard nearby! Those chairs turned out so good. Great post!

    The chairs look great painted red! I always gravitate to black too but that color is so much fun!

    I'm really liking those chairs painted red. All this red I've been seeing is just going to make me have to paint something red. Really great. Jackie

    So where do you do your spray painting? Backyard? Do you cover the grass? I'm a total spray paint novice, but it sounds like fun! Very cute chairs.

    Grandma's hand me down are exactly the right price. I love the red and the pillows are perfect.
