One of my major summer projects was to complete my deck makeover. It is still a work in progress! I have gotten almost all the furniture painted, except for one bench and a wicker table. I found this old watering can in my closet, and decided it would be perfect for the patio. Here is what it looked like before the paint job.
I painted it using Krylon's Blue Ocean Breeze. I can't get enough of that color!
After spraying it, I added ASCP in Coco around the trim just to add some color.
I then added a few rosettes.
While I was at it, I decided my lantern still needed a little something. I had been thinking about stenciling on the top, but couldn't decide on a stencil. So I decided to add a few rosettes to my lantern, too! Yes, I have a thing for these lovely rosettes these days!!!
The picture below is how the lantern actually started out. You can check out that post here.
From super yucky to this:
I used the same Blue Ocean Breeze spray paint. I loved how it turned out, but still wanted to add some bling! :)
Slowly, but surely I am getting there! I hope to have the tray the watering can is sitting on completing finished by tomorrow. I have been working on it for a week! One of those projects that is not cooperating.

This color makes my heart sing. Love the watering can.
They look amazing! I love the colour!
That blue is so pretty on both pieces :-)
I love the updates! The blue just pops, and the rosettes really do make a world of difference, I don't think I would have thought to add them on an outside piece, but seeing how they look so good on yours...it is giving me some ideas :) I've been working a lot on trying to update my outside this summer as well...seems like there is always one more project I want/need to do...I loved what you did!

You have been very bizee! It is amazing what a difference a little paint (okay a lot sometimes) makes. I think the color is very well suited for the items you have painted. It looks so summery and reminds me of the ocean. I can't believe that is the same lantern. Job well done! :)
