The weather is becoming so nice here in the desert and has totally inspired me to freshen up my Front Porch with a Simple Makeover.    I don’t take our gorgeous Spring Desert weather for granted though especially since when it becomes hot , it’s hot.  Like dang HOT!

My favorite colors now are Aqua a Red.  I have  Aqua and Red displayed through out my  house thanks to the Pioneer Woman dishes I started collecting last Winter.  So, it was a no brainier when I saw these Aqua, Red and Yellow Chevron Outdoors pillows from Big Lots that they needed to be in my life and on my front porch chairs which also needed a colorful makeover.

I’ve had this Small Bistro Set for about 6 years now.  It’s held up pretty well in the Desert climate but it was in need of a little TLC which  was easily accomplished with Rust-o-leum Ultra Cover Paint in Seaside.

It took  about 3 1/2 cans of spray paint to cover the table and chairs thoroughly.   I’ll admit, I was a little bit hesitant about how they would turn out but I couldn’t be happier!  It’s like a completely  new outdoor set for less than $10!

The new fresh Seaside color also looks fabulous displaying my  Big Lots Outdoor Pillows.  I love how Big Lots carries high-quality lawn & garden and other outdoor decorative items that provides the ability to mix & match easily in my outdoor space.

    Love the color. Aqua is one of my colors as well so I’m slowly bringing it outside as well. I’ll have to check out Big Lots for pillows.Visiting from Friday Finds.
