Updated Front Porch Rocking Chair

Happy Monday!  Hope your doing well....  I know I've said it before...but summer is just flying by.  We spent last weekend with friends cruising the sand dunes along Lake Michigan and Silver Lake.  We were able to drive our truck onto the dunes and explore the area.  I'm telling you, I've never seen anything like it.  There were dune buggies, jeeps, 4X4 trucks, 4-wheelers, and other off road vehicles cruising around these dunes.  These dunes look so serene and beautiful from across the lake and it's not until you get in the middle of them that it's another world.  My son was in his glory watching vehicles cruise up steep hills, jump the dunes, pop wheelies and etc. It was quite the experience...I have to say I was a tad bit nervous that we were going to get stuck or collide into another vehicle.  We camped near the dunes and had a great time.  My son absolutely loves camping....getting to sleep in a tent and spend every minute outside.  The weather was absolutely perfect....seventies and no bugs.  Just awesome!!!  Hope you enjoyed your weekend as well.

Anyways, I have a rocking chair make-over to share with you today.  I found this chair off of craig's list awhile back.  It has been sitting on my front porch for about a year now.  The finish has worn off and it's starting to look a bit ragged.  So, I decided that I would try and spruce it up.  Here's the before picture of it.

I gave her a cleaning and then sprayed a coat of primer and then a couple coats of yellow spray paint.  Here she is finished.  It took me awhile to get used to the bright yellow....but it does look better.  The color just pops from the road.

Have a wonderful week and make sure you soak up these last few weeks of summer......I know I will!!!
