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!
