Blood, Sweat and tears!

That is what I feel like after doing one chair!

Now I know why I love spray paint so much. It is way easier to paint a  rocking chair with  a can opposed to a brush and roller. So many nooks and crannies.

These rockers were purchased many moons ago, and were originally oak.

I then spray painted them black, and lightly distressed them, that was  few years back BB (before blogging)

This year our front porch is getting a mini makeover.

I always change out per season, but this year I wanted a dramatic difference.
I am not sure the direction I will be going, however, I did know how I wanted
to redo the rockers.

So I sought out my color...

and decided I would start today.

I sanded the heck out of these chairs after the paint dried.

Tomorrow I will be working on the other chair.
 I wanted a change and had to start somewhere.
The hat is not staying, I only threw that on there for special effects.

 This was last summer.
I would love some ideas.
We love country rustic, Spanish, Old world decor...
If I can incorporate a little of each, I would be happy.
I want to replace the cross too with something else...
Thanks so much!

Dumbster diving with the Doo's

Yesterday the hubster was off from work. So we decided we would go thrifting or antiquing, both of which we did.  In our journeys we happened to see a dresser by the dumpster that was a real hunk of crap. We looked, we left, and that was that.  Well later that night, my genius husband said to me, "you know we could have used that piece for the shoes out in the garage! Light bulb moment for me.  I said well we have to go back and see if it is still there tomorrow.  Low and behold it was.  So we threw in the truck and off we went.  Came home cleaned it outside real good. I knew I had some spare paint around so I found it, painted and Whala....done!
Check it out.

Can someone say gross???

It was all colored on top of it, and really beat up, I totally understand why someone would throw it away.

Perfect for all these boys stinky shoes!

No excuses to leave them all over the floor...there is no room to leave them there anymore.

Loving my new personalized beach bag!

I will be adding the link tomorrow morning for my thrift party, hope to see you there!
