My patio chair redo

So 5 weeks ago , we were having a pretty day and I was just hanging around the house.  I have to take advantage of sunny days to do any of my spray paint projects.  I had bought a cute patio chair that was bright pepto-bismol pink with a faded floral seat cushion.  I really didn't mind the pink but I wanted our patio furniture to not clash as badly as it did.  
I spray painted the chair metallic silver and I painted another chair the same color because I was on a roll.  Then the seat needed some help.  I grabbed a cute bag that I had bought from Target last Halloween.  I had colorful skulls on it and I liked the fabric because it's waterproof.  I grabbed out my staple gun and took the seat and placed it in the bag.  I cut all the access off and just stapled it under the seat. Boom! Done! Easy Peasy!! 

And here is the results. I'm pretty pleased  without. Especially with all the rain we've been having.  

So what do you think? Have you covered any furniture before? I've only done outdoors chairs and a stool so far.

Sunshine equals spray paint

Happy Wednesday yall!  Here in Dallas lately we've been getting ALOT of rain. We totally need it but it's been very dreary. The dogs have wet muddy feet and our house smells like Fritos. Lol. 
We finally got a break this past weekend and the sun came out.  I've had a few projects waiting to be painted but can't do it if it's raining outside. 
I have lots of mismatched patio furniture and I was excited to start having some match for once.  I had a Pepto-bismol pink wicker chair and a big faded wooden rattan bowl chair that needed a facelift.  I chose a metallic paint that is more on the silver side but also has a tiny  hint of gold. 
I love the outcome and now I still have a green vintage metal chair to paint and I need to cover the seat that goes to the pink chair. Those are next.  I've been debating about the green chair because I love the rusty natural patina that comes with age but I want to make it look good so painted it will be! 

I'm still crazy busy with work and training for 6 hrs straight but I really do love it. This is the part of my job that I live for and is my favorite.  Training my coworkers is the best!  Just tiring and I'm losing my voice. lol. 
Have a great day everyone.  And thanks so much for your support and kind words for my mom.  One day at a time is all we can pray for to her health. I will post about it soon.
