When I was little my mom would give me a paintbrush and a pail of water and I would go outside and paint everything. It really made things look renewed, especially the red box housing the fire hose. Now that we've taken over a lodge with all things wood outside, I find myself grabbing a brush and a can of stain or paint, because absolutely everything needs renewing (after sanding). So far I've renewed the double bench swing, a couple of porch chairs and uncovered a table that had been covered over the years with three layers of cloth and vinyl. Underneath was beautiful wood, so I sanded and stained it! We ordered some new cedar log patio furniture and a swing that needed staining and it's almost finished. Next will be all the log rails/posts on the patios and then the entire lodge siding. It may take me all summer or longer, but that's ok because I like to paint. Thanks Mom!
