Create A Stylish Outdoor Space On A Budget
Posted: 6/8/2011
You can give your grill a lift with the help of a spray paint specifically formulated for high heat applications. (NAPSI)—If your patio furniture, barbecue grill or favorite outdoor planter was left outside this winter, it probably took a beating. But think twice before you relegate your favorite lounge chair or lawn ornaments to the landfill. It’s easy to transform them and make them look better than new. All you need is a little imagination and a few cans of spray paint.
Create “designer” furniture. Designer patio sets, lawn chairs and other outdoor furniture can cost hundreds, even thousands of dollars. But it’s easy and inexpensive to give the furniture you already own a face lift that mimics the look of trendy designer furniture with a few coats of spray paint.
Create a durable designer look that sparkles in the sun with Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Textured Metallic in Galaxy, a textured black with flecks of silver. The texture adds depth, elegance and unmatched protection to any project. Or create a rich Oil Rubbed Bronze finish, while protecting your furniture from the elements, with Rust-Oleum Universal spray paint. Choose an unexpected color, like Painter’s Touch 2X Satin Eden. You can also transform garage sale bargains, flea market finds or used furniture you find on sites like CraigsList or Freecycle with spray paint to get a designer look without the designer price tag.
Revive an old barbecue grill. If your grill was buried under three feet of snow, it could probably use a little TLC. Why not revive it with a spray paint specifically formulated for high heat applications? Rust-Oleum High Heat Ultra resists heat up to 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit so it’s great for grills, fire pits and wood-burning stoves. Plus, it’s available in traditional black, as well as stylish colors and finishes such as brown and aged copper, so your barbecue grill will look better than new.
Accessories can get a second life, too. No need to toss planters, lawn ornaments or other outdoor accessories because their finish has been weather damaged. Spray paint can give them a second life. Try spray painting planters with Rust-Oleum Stops Rust for a rooftop garden or patio in a variety of vegetable colors-Sunrise Red for tomatoes, Hunter Green for lettuce or green peppers, different shades of green for herbs. The possibilities to add a splash of color-or a little sophistication-to a patio, rooftop or backyard are endless.
