As you know we will be starting construction soon of our screened porch.Recently I came across this chic vintage set of wrought iron chairs and a metal table.
First lets talk about the table.
I forgot to take a photo of the table before,but the color was hunter green.
And it was a thrifty find for 4.99!
The size and shape were just what I was looking for our screened in porch.
As I was driving home I spotted a set of four vintage wrought iron chairs.
Yes this is what they looked like before.
They are all in great condition.
I love the bit of rust and chippy patina on the metal.
But the cushions were dirty and stained from age.
I tried cleaning them but the dirt would not budge.
I decided to paint them using Annie Sloan Chalk paint in Coco and Old Ochre.
I mixed up the two colors until I got the color I wanted which is similar to chocolate milk or chocolate ice cream.
The table was just spray painted with a satin finish.
Lets recap this deal:
The chairs were 22.50 a piece and the table was 4.99 not bad for a table and chair set!
Although I think I would like to add two more chairs.
I will be looking around for a deal for sure!
Not the best time of the day to take photos of the back of our yard,lots of shadows.
Love this set!
I know it will look amazing in our screened in porch!
For now I will store it away.
I will be thinking of this set all winter long!
I have big plans for the floor in this porch….but I am not sharing yet.

Anne what a fabulous set!! A true score for sure.
Like your table & chairs. Hope you’ll let us know how the chalk paint holds out on the chairs. I love my screened porch – best investment ever.
As I mentioned before, I have the same chairs, 5 of them. My Mom Carole ( not my birth mom but mom by luv) gave the set to me. She passed away 2 years ago, so they mean even more to me now. The table has the same leaves and vines on the legs and a wooden top. ADORABLE!!! I want to recover the seats and back of mine… the design by no means match my decor, but they matched Mom’s. Torn….. will some day.
Needless to say, I luv your find Anne!

Just gorgeous! I love the table in fact we have one like it but stored away, we used it on the porch before I got a bigger table. The chairs are really neat and love how you painted them.
What a deal! I love it and I know it will look amazing in your new space.
What a beautiful set! I think it will be perfect on your porch. I bet you will enjoy eating out there too.
Your table and chairs are fun.
I can’t imagine waiting until spring to enjoy them. Will your screened porch be weather proofed so you can enjoy it during the winter?
Anne-What a great set. I thought at first you were going to say the chairs were curbside but that was worth the price-they look absolutely beautiful with that table. Nice job all the way around- xo Diana
Anne this is just amazing. I really love it and what you did with the colors. So very pretty and this will look great on your new porch!!

Anne,
Were the chairs vinyl or fabric? Thanks for sharing.
Hi Anne, Your patio set is great and I love that you painted the cushions. Great idea!
Hi Anne,
I bet you are excited to get the sun room underway. This set will look great out there. Great score.

It looks really great! Your pics are gorgeous!
What a great deal, Anne, and clever idea to paint the seats over. They look great in your yard, so I’m sure it’s hard to put them away all winter. It will be fun once you ‘find’ them again in spring!
