I love Adirondack chairs, I’d like to
have one in every color.
I have 2 child size Adirondack chairs
that my Dad built for the kids, they have
been around for several years
now and the red paint is slowly
wearing off – time for a refresh.
Here they are, fading away….
And here they are now after a fresh coat
of beautiful pastel yellow paint.
They are all ready for the upcoming summer season!
Sorry for the harsh pics, it’s super sunny
here today and
even though I’m not complaining
about the sun, it sure
makes it hard to take good pics outside.
I’m sure you’ll see these babies
again later on in the year when
I have my garden planted.
Here are some lovely Adirondack chairs to swoon over….

I just finished Riley’s child adirondack chair this weekend. My brother-in-law build and I had to “Melrose” it on up. I love the color that you chose for the chairs.

Marissa, you did a lovely job with those chairs, and the paint color is sweet and summery! I have a couple of blue adirondacks, but they won’t get any updates for a year or two. Thanks for linking up!
These are gorgeous! Thanks so much for sharing!!! Makes me want to go outside with a good book & some tea!
Have a great week!

Loving the color! It really spruced them up a lot:)
These are so charming! I love the picture from faithandhope- the 2 chairs on the porch looking out at the beach. I would love to have a vacation home like that.

I love Adirondack chairs too! Love the yellow you chose. Thanks so much for sharing at Toot Your Horn Tuesday. Have fun on vacation!!!
You make me anxious to sit outside, quietly enjoying the activity of the harbor. It’s not quite warm enough yet, but it won’t be long til we can enjoy the adirondacks.
Love the adirondack chairs! I’m more traditional and love the plan wood colors. I want to go by the lake right now and sit in one. I’m a new follower, feel free to follow me back at http://iheartpears.blogspot.com
I love adirondacks, too! They evoke a sense of relaxed elegance. Yours look so happy in that yellow paint. Thanks so much for linking up at I Gotta Create! <3 Christina
I love these chairs too! And the color you painted them is perfect for summer. So bright and cheery.
It’s amazing what a little paint can do.
Thanks for sharing at Terrific Tuesdays.

Love your chairs. A little bit of paint can do wonders, and i love the color you picked. One of these days I’m going to make me a couple adirondack chairs. Thanks for sharing.
Sarah I like them too ( yours look great) Every time I see them I think of lazy days by the sea. Love this post! xo Thank you for linking to the Thursday Favorite Things hop I hope you have a weekend filled with happy!
Hi Sarah, I love the pretty yellow color you chose for your chairs. And I so enjoyed all the eye candy pics of the chairs. Have a wonderful vacation! Thank you so much for linking up on Fabulous Friday at Faith, Trust & Pixie Dust.
Warmly, Michelle
Yes, I love those chairs too. My father built me a few of them too. I lived with them in the ‘natural’ wood color for a few years then saw on TV where a lady painted her’s in black and white spots. (like a cow) Very very cute. So I got my paint brush out and painted them to look like cows. My father almost had a fit when he found out I painted the chairs. But when he saw them he had to admit they looked very good in the back yard. Now my chairs are painted a pretty aqua. They are in my sister’s yard now. She has a big pool and we do not.
For outdoors sitting there is nothing better than adirondack chairs! We have 2 on the front porch and 2 more in the garden area. The ones in the garden are in desperate need of refinishing! You’ve given me the inspiration to do this! Great color that you used!
Love the sunny yellow chairs. I featured your project in this week’s Not So Ordinary link party! http://revamphomegoods.blogspot.com/2012/04/not-your-ordinary-show-tell-link-party.html
Great job on making the chairs look so fresh and new! I love these chairs and have always wanted some! Thanks for linking this up!
These are gorgeous! I would love to find some old chairs to paint up for my outdoor area but haven’t spotted anything yet. The turquoise is gorgeous
I love how Adirondack chairs look, all the variations and colors, but I have learned if they are at a certain slant and I plop my behinder down in that style, it’s hard to pull azzz back out!
