BEFORE
Waiting for the spring outdoor furniture to arrive in stores seems like it would be an easy task, but i have had trouble finding wicker furniture in Bloomington...at a good price. And I had a job that was in need of this furniture ASAP.
I had noticed the furniture in the photo at top of the page in our local east side Marsh grocery store for several weeks and I was always turned off by the green and cream color scheme. But need brought about creativity and a trip to Marsh with my truck to pick up the furniture.
While I was in the check out line a woman in front of me said "I was looking at that wicker for my grandmother. I wouldn't like it, but I think she would". Luckily I already had my plan in the works.
I loaded up the four pieces of wicker, priced at only $285.00 including cushions and headed straight to the hardware store. I purchased five cans of Krylon Fusion satin white spray paint and went to work.
Thirty minutes later I had a new and improved set of wicker furniture ready to be used in a client's sun room. The cost of the paint was about $25.00 making the total purchase of my fine white faux wicker furniture right at $310.00 which included two arm chairs, sofa, coffee table and cushions.
