I have had eight patio chars for over a year. With no place to put them. It's been very sad. This is why we poured a patio. And then because we are equally crazy we decided that the new patio needed a little something something before we could add a table and chairs. So painting happened.

And we (I) needed it to be fun (not easy). Diamond checker pattern sounded fun (not easy), so that is what we did. Two hours to tape the diamonds out, and only twenty minutes to paint. And we LOVE it. And then we (Jon) decided it wasn't fancy/colorful enough. So we brought home lots of color chips and played around for a bit deciding what we wanted. We have the paint and are just waiting for an opportunity (time is elusive for extras right now) to head back out there and finish up. Fingers crossed I will get to use this space for it's intened pourpose sometime this summer. Maybe……
