Today we are going to update an old redwood patio furniture set with paint! 

Mom's redwood patio furniture has seen better days.

Moldy, faded, and all dried out, it needed a paint job!

First we sanded to remove the mold, then gave it a coat of Kilz oil based primer.

There's Mom working away while I snap pictures.

With so many surfaces to paint we were sure it was going to be a summer long project!

We were happily surprised to find out the semi gloss coat went on quickly and smoothly over the primer... we were finished in no time.

Now Mom and Dad have a lovely new patio set to enjoy!

I added this cushion using photo shop to give you an idea of how great new cushions would look on their new patio furniture.

I'm thinking new nautical blue cushions with maybe a striped or anchor pillow on these Mom.

Now if only I had a magic wand I'd have the picnic table at my house magically painted white too.

Update: The picnic table was 50 years old and not in great shape so I turned it into a potting table.
