Wicker furniture conjures up images of sipping lemonade on a lovely large porch in the summertime…

I was lucky enough to have worked on a beautiful vintage wicker table a few months ago. It is amazing how paint can transform even the most worn wicker back into life. It was looking a little sad before.
I used General Finishes milk paint in the color Basil for this project. I also added a glaze. 
Painting wicker is really simple. For this piece, I used a brush and stippled it into the grooves. 
Chalk paint will work as well but the thought of waxing wicker is a little daunting. In the past, I have used spray paint on wicker and it worked like a charm.
Now, I just need to buy a house with a front porch! Sigh!

Love the color of blue on the wicker..you do such a wonderful job on your pieces:)
Thank you Debby!
i have an old heavy wicker chair and a cheap wicker head board painted white and i am going to get around to painting them this summer and that color is wonderful xx
Go for it! You will transform them – promise!
I thank you for this subject, I have two chairs that I would love to paint showed your before and after pictures to DH he liked the painted one crossed fingers!!!!!!
Just go for it! I never ask first 😉
Very pretty, but how did you get the color so blue? I’ve used GF Basil before, and it turned out most definitely green! Was it the glaze you added to the paint? Just wondering. Also, saw your cabinet on Hometalk today! Comments were very favorable ! 😀
I think it depends on the light. You are right, Basil definitely does have a greenish hue but the glaze tones it down some. I think it makes it more blue. I was thrilled with the Hometalk feature! It was so fun reading through all the comments. Thanks so much!
Such a pretty piece, love the color you chose!
