Hello again friends. This past weekend was a long weekend for us here in Canada and while the weather was gorgeous and I would have loved to just sit on our patio and relax, we had some work around the house that needed to be done. So while the boys and hubby cleaned out the garage, Bella and I painted our old patio dining set. I think we got the better end of the deal.
Refreshing our old dining set served as the perfect opportunity to use the new Americana Outdoor Living Paint while also creating a post to contribute to the Outdoor Extravaganza series, as this week we share our paint or built projects. You can click to see week 1 and week 2.
This is a brand new paint to the DecoArt family and I love the ease of use as it doesn’t require a sealer, it’s colorfast and it will resist water. Keep an eye out for them mid-June at Michaels.
I wasn’t completely sure whether I wanted to paint the table or try to restore it with natural wood stain, but I took the plunge and I’m so happy I did. This is a very old table and I think the paint has given it a brand new life. The color I used is called “Iron Gate” and it’s the perfect black.
You may recall our recent little patio makeover (here) and while I loved how it turned out, my original design plan was to keep this a dining area and landscape a little corner for our sitting area. As time did not permit I didn’t want to spend too much money on new accessories, I went with what I had, which surprise, surprise, happened to be blues and whites.
But this little dining area is exactly what I had in mind, including this color scheme.
I love using things I already have and just shop our home to decorate.
Brody obviously feels at home, even bringing his toy with him. I didn’t have the heart to ask him to move.
I had fun setting up this little scene even though my neighbor – who happened to be cleaning his windows and was staring at me the entire time while I hauled things in and out – likely thinks I’m a little crazy. I often wonder what they really think about these photo sessions.
I hope you enjoyed this little makeover as much as I did. Don’t forget that tomorrow you can link up your own outdoor projects right here.
Thanks again so much for joining us today.
much love,

What color ArtDeco paint did you use for your outdoor dining set?
Hi Marilyn, thank you for asking. It’s called ‘Iron Gate’. xo
This is absolutely gorgeous! What stores in Canada can you buy the Americana Outdoor Living Paint?
You can purchase them at Michaels early to mid June…:) xo
Love it in black, everything pops on and around it!
Thanks for the heads up about the paint – will be checking Michaels for it. Your set came out great, and has helped me decide what color to paint my own wood table and chairs – love the black.
Absolutely stunning Lucy! Such a transformation – our set is quite a dark reddish brown, and I think I will give it one more year and then maybe try a dark stain like this. I did that on our old set and loved it! Your styling always absolutely blows me away. Such a talent!!
Oh, and I noticed that for some reason when I click on my post link it takes me to your same post again. FYI
Love the transformation. Our patio set is in need of a makeover, but it’s metal in some parts, so spray paint is probably the direction I’m going. Or, maybe, I should just get a new one?? These projects cut into our summer downtime, don’t they? But, I’m not much of a sitter anyway.
Looks amazing!

I really like that this new product requires no sealer and that in itself it’s not glossy, allowing a softer, more natural tonal look on wood. Love, too, how that iron color you chose goes with the greenery on the patio, and even more so with that gray-and-white-patterned rug, Lucy. Can you tell us about the rug, too?
PS: Glad you didn’t make Brody move. His easy, unassuming, natural, sweet, and handsome self belongs right there among the beauty and comfort you show is possible.
Love the set , super color choice. And the little helper underneath the table is to die for!!!
I love the black and linen look! I’m just wrapping up re-doing my own backyard patio using black accents and lots of neutrals as well. Great minds think alike 😉 xo, S
This is so beautiful, Lucy! I love the colours you chose – classic!
Beautiful as always Lucy!!! Its looks fantastic! I hope you have the best weekend!! Jen
Love your makeover Lucy!! I adore touches of black decor outside !

I adore outdoor cooking and entertaining, I’m interested in purchasing an outdoor BBQ. What features should I look for in a high-quality BBQ grill to ensure it meets my cooking needs, such as temperature control, fuel type, and cooking space? Also, can anyone recommend brands or models that have provided them with exceptional performance and longevity? Tips on maintenance and accessories would be greatly appreciated as well.
Hi. As I have recently been interested in buying outdoor bbqs , I can recommend a site that I have found useful. On Cazaar I found a great selection of good grills as well as other garden and patio products. I chose the Outsunny 3-in-1 BBQ Rotisserie Grill Roaster Fire Pit for Outdoor Picnic Camping for only £125.99, although in another shop I saw the same model but 2 times more expensive. So the prices on this site are awesome. And I would also like to mention the cool management, as they organised super fast delivery right to my doorstep, ensuring that I could start using my new grill without any delays. I am very happy with my purchase.
