Picnic Table Facelift

Quite a while back, my in-laws picked up this old picnic table that a neighbor was throwing out.  They knew that we might like it since we were new homeowners and were in need of patio furniture.  Well, she sat around on the porch in this sad state for a long time.

Well, I finally got around to reinforcing the wobbly legs (after my husband broke a bench by standing on it), and sanding her down a bit.  Then, for $15 she is good as new with a fresh coat of paint.

Not quite so embarrassing to show off on the front patio anymore.I think it goes pretty well with the porch swing, too. 

The next part of our makeover involves painting the trim of the house.  What a beast of a project!
