giving NEW life to our OLD swing set!

{Made By Me Monday}

We've enjoyed this old swing set for about 8 years now! It's gotten LOTS of love. In fact, over the years, we've taken off the "rocket", the "teeter toter" and the slide. We've replaced the empty spots with just swings. I love it!

Here's the before...

3 cans of black Krylon spray paint later,

we have the AFTER!

We still need to purchase one swing for the end. People have asked me if having the swing set painted black makes it hot, and it doesn't even make a difference. I even added name tags to each of the swings. The kids LOVE having their "assigned swing" and I enjoy not having the fights! :)

I had pieces of wood left over from a project that I was working on. I drilled some holes, painted them black, added vinyl lettering, and some ribbon to hang them. We love the transformation!
