5 Minute Outdoor Chair Makeover

I never really loved the look of these outdoor chairs.  We bought six of them at Lowe’s last year because they fit the budget, they’re easy to move around for parties, and they stack nicely for storing in our garage over the winter.

I decided to give them a new look with some rub n buff in silver leaf.  This little makeover literally took about 5 minutes per chair (I only did the 2 that are on the deck for now), and I’m loving the new look!

This was such a quick, simple, and easy project.  They already passed the rain test too.

Have you done any quick and easy projects lately?

  • These look great! Our deck chairs have seen better days so I do believe a little makeover is in order. In all honesty it will be a pretty big project as they are starting to rust so a good sanding is in order followed by a coat or two of spray paint. But I am now inspired to get a move on! Thanks! Maybe I'll even take the time and reweave the seats… Thank you for sharing and inspiring us!!

  • Love them! I still have yet to use rub n buff..hangs head in shame. 😉 I'm in the middle of spray painting all of my patio dining furniture for the second time. A little more time consuming than 5 minutes but still a quick easy fix to make it look good as new. Just can't bring myself to buy a new set when the one we have still works just fine.

  • At first I didn't see a difference but now I do and it really is much better! I can't find rub and buff around here.. I want some gold!

  • They look great! I've never used Rub and Buff either (I just used spray paint for the first time, to paint my Adirondack chairs, so I'm working up to the fancier stuff!) 😉

  • Do you have any tips for using Rub 'n Buff? I bought some to fix my disgusting kitchen door pulls, but I wasn't pleased with my first attempt. Do you use your finger or a rag? The directions say to use it sparingly, but is that accurate? Any help would be appreciated!
