Freshen Up Your Outdoor Furniture This Summer 🌿🎨
Is your garden furniture looking a bit tired after the winter? 🪑❄️ Fancy giving your outdoor space a lift without spending a fortune? 💸 A simple coat of paint can work wonders, and the good news is, it’s easier than you might think.
Whether you’ve got wooden benches, metal chairs, terracotta pots or even old plastic tables, you can revive them with just a few hours and a tin of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint™ – available online at Kit & Caboodle!
🧽 No Prep, No Fuss
One of the best things about Chalk Paint is how little effort is involved. 🙌
No sanding, no priming, just wipe away the cobwebs, give it a clean, and you’re ready to get going! Perfect for those spontaneous sunny-day DIYs 🖌️
🎯 What Can You Paint?
The real question is: what can you paint? 😄
Wood, metal, terracotta, stone, brick, and even some plastic, Chalk Paint works brilliantly on almost everything.
Think outside the (flower) box:
🌸 Plant pots
🪞 Outdoor mirrors
💡 Lanterns
🪑 Old stools
🎍 Planters
Anything that needs a glow-up is fair game!
🛡️ Don’t Forget to Seal It
For outdoor pieces that get lots of use or are out in all weather, sealing is essential. 🌧️☀️
Skip the wax (it’s not suitable for outside) and use Chalk Paint Lacquer instead.
💧 Water-resistant
🌞 UV-protective
✅ Easy to apply
Choose Matt for a softer look or Gloss for a shinier finish – both will keep your colours looking fresh and vibrant. 🌈
Top Tip: Apply two thin coats for the best results. That way, your furniture stays protected from rain, sun, and everything in between. 💪
🌿 Fancy a Rustic Look?
If you prefer a more weathered, natural style, there’s no need to seal everything.
Fences, sheds, brick walls, and terracotta pots can look absolutely charming with a slightly faded, sun-baked finish. 🌤️🍃
The pigment in Chalk Paint sinks into porous surfaces and ages beautifully – giving you that rustic French farmhouse or boho vibe without even trying 🐓🪵
