Wicker Revamped...with paint & glaze





This end table on our screened-in-porch was in serious need of a makeover!  Here's the "after", like any good ravamp brace yourself for the "before".


Yup, were talkin' D-R-A-B city!


I used Krylon Spray Paint in Ivy Leaf...love this color! 


Here we've got a good coat of spraypaint.  Such an improvement, but something's missing.  It needs some character!


I mixed a glaze with dark brown latex paint and water (equal parts).  Just brushed it on, and wiped the excess off with a rag.  Super easy! 


Now this table has some color and character....love that!



Got some old wicker?  Revamp it with paint and glaze and your old furniture will look great again!

I love it! You must see all my Krylon paint projects, if you come to my blog they are on the right side of my task bar, I love their colors, the one you have shown I have not used, however, I will find something now, I love it so much!

Dawn said...

Wow, what a difference! I think I might have to give that a try with some of my really boring wicker!

Looks great! Green is one of my favorite colors so thanks for sharing the color you used!

Martha said...

Love the color -- I'll have to remember that next time I need to paint mine! And yes, the glaze definitely made a difference!

Jill said...

Stunning! Wonderful job and great thinking outside the box. I never would have thought to glaze wicker, cool!

Ozjane said...

My favorite color also....unfortunately the only cane here is meant to stay plain and historical.....but I could attack the clothes basket.......if I used it.

Pat@Back Porch Musings said...

This looks wonderful! I love the color. You have inspired me to break away from the white wicker and try some color.

Rhoda @ Southern Hospitality said...

Oh, I love it! Love wicker & I love that color.

Sue said...

Your table looks so gooood all done up in that glaze! I'm always on the look-out for reasonably priced pieces of wicker. My best find was a little table for seventy-five cents. All it needed was a coat of spray paint and voila- it was cute once again.

Life in Rehab said...

NICE! I've been on a wicker spray painting spree myself. There's nothing like brand new furniture that you've had for years.

Leslie, the Home Maker said...

Just beautiful, Jane!
I saw this color the other night at Wal-Mart and wondered if it was a good color to use- I now see that it is! Especially with the glaze!
Very pretty!
Thank you for answering my Wal-Mart pondering- how did you know?

Anita said...

Love the redo and I love that color! I have a wicker table that could use some perking up. If it would stop raining!

Meet Virginia said...

I'm loving green this year! I love that shade of green you used. It really brought some life into the table.
Great re-do!

Rory from Tools Are For Women Too! said...

Isn't it amazing what taking the time to do the extra glaze and paint step makes? Really brings out the detail of the table with the new depth of color. Thanks for sharing. Rory

Mama Dub said...

Carrie @ Dittle Dattle said...

I love that green! so fresh and spring like!!! If I may ask, what is the kind of flooring is that little side table sitting on? It looks like tile but has the texture of brick.
