My Weekend Project Finally Finished

 TaDa!

 Remember the chair I settled for when I couldn't find a glider?

The old green chippy, rusted metal chair?

Well I found it's mate and now they are painted

a pretty retro green and yellow!

 I was driving to work when I saw this glider

on the driveway at a yard sale!

I stopped

 backed up

and purchased it on the spot. 

I knew it was just like the chair I had bought at the antique show. 

I even thought the greens matched.

My husband, once again

 was called upon, just like with the blue door, to go retrieve the glider.

Upon seeing it I got the rolling of the eyes

and

"where are you going to put this?"

Well, I let a few weeks pass and then one evening while skeptical husband was in a good mood, I mentioned the color I thought I'd like to paint the glider and chair.  He told me what colors his grandparent's glider was and I knew I had him. 

I chose those colors since I am reliving life at my grandparents and I wanted to do something to remind him of his paternal grandparent's home too.

 Progress

I used an oil based primer to cover and seal the rusted spots

I consulted my paint friends at work and this is what I decided would be best for me.

 I used a paint brush instead of spray paint. 

It took longer but I do not do well with spray painting?

I get impatient and try to go faster and get runs.

 I am very pleased with the results!

Very vintage and retro.

And, my quilt from my broken swing matched great.

Here is the glider this morning after my mid-morning read and nap!
