Verde Antique!!
My new favorite shade!! My pretty little bench needed a real coat of paint to protect her from the elements.
She has been wearing only a worn coat of primer for way to long!! I had been putting it off because I didn't want to spend the money on paint. This week, while browsing the clearance section at Walmart, I found a can of gloss paint in a light base for only $2. Hmmm....I quickly headed over to see if I could find a color that I liked and there it was VERDE ANTIQUE!! I brought my $2 can of paint on up to the mixer man and asked if he could mix me up this here color with this here $2 light base. Sure thing he said!!
Now, she just needs to be flipped so I can slap a coat on her underside!!

Oh my I think I love your color!! THis is so pretty you could bring it in the house throw some pillows on her and quilt. Well that what I would do... *wink* Beautiful.
LOVE the color and the price:) It is gorgeous. The weather is a little weird. Not as hot down south as it normally is... but that is OK. Have a blessed day!
That color is amazing!
So fresh and welcoming...Good choice...and the price is unbeatable...You practically stole it!

Jen, how lucky you are...a $2 paint job. I should be so lucky:-(
The chair is beautiful. I had to laugh at "your new favorite color" comment:-)
I have also found myself in the midst of color conversions.
What a pretty color!
