I stripped the freecycle table and I actually kinda liked the way it looked afterward but noooooooooo, I had to go and paint it. So I got Copper spray paint from Ace, painted it, hated it. That's it below with the Copper color. I asked Mr. Wonderful and his reply was "i like it - it looks fresh and new" BAD! I don't want fresh and new, I want old and weathered. After another trip to Ace I returned with some grayish "hammered finish" spray paint. Painted it, hate it even more! I didn't include a picture here but just imagine medium boring gray. Mr Wonderful's dad said "it looks like you couldn't decide what color to paint it since I can see at least 3 different colors." What a mess. Now I dunno what to do.
What I'd really like to do is try to do a blue patina. After I did these 2 coats of paint I found a kit where you can do blackened bronze (which is kinda the color I want it to be) and then blue over the top for the patina look. Thoughts?
The old white window now has no glass. I removed all glass yesterday. It's pretty worn out and I'm pretty sure investing even one can of spray paint in it may be worthless, but I'll give it a try. I was first thinking of painting it some bright color like Red or Purple then planting an English Climbing rose to climb up it as a trellis. I have since decided that It should be lime green with a Sweet Autumn Clematis growing on it. AND they have the Clematis on sale at the greenhouse by house. I would probably plant it right behind the purple Iris. What do you think? I love the combinations of light greens and whites. I think it will be pretty hanging on the fence.
