Painted Adirondack Chair -
Supplies include:
Unfinished Adirondack Chair (Amazon.com)
Outdoor paint, finishing spray (Home Depot)
Ski maps (collected from various ski resorts or found online)
Mod Podge (Michael's)
Old ski boots, hats, etc. for creativity

I first started by drawing the outlines of the different ski faces. I researched what old versions of each ski looked like before I started, then copied those designs. After that dried, I painted the rest of the chair. I then covered each arm and the back with Mod Podge, and cut ski maps to fit their locations. 

Lastly, I sprayed the entire chair with a finishing spray that would make it suitable for wear and tear. My finishing touches were to put ski boots on each of the front two legs, and a hat on the back. There is so much room for creativity here. Have fun!
