Rocking Along

It's been a fun filled day thus far this lovely Friday morning. The DMV has had me waiting almost two hours. Luckily my trips to the DMV are few and far between.

On a more enjoyable note, I wanted to share my latest project with you and show you some before and afters. It's such beautiful time of year and a great time to spruce up the backyard. I know for me, I'm looking forward to many BBQ's and being with friends.

I've had these rockers given to me years ago and they never tire. They've gone through some wear and tear (as you can see). These are some before's I captured. With so many coats of paint throughout the years, it was time for some sanding. Very simple to do. Just make sure you wear a mask.

All you need is a simple sander, stain, and some spray paint.



I chose a brighter green (Leafy Green) in satin and put on a light Lacquer to finish them off. I like the Satin over the Flat!


Viola...several hours later, here are the after's. 

{Stained it a black finish}


{Makes a cozy sitting place}


{Also spray painted this table yellow and bought some new outdoor yellow pillows to tie it together}


This is my next project for the backyard. I'm going to sand this one down and finish it off with some teak oil.


Have a great weekend!!
