Hey y’all! Thanks for stopping by today! Before we begin, I wanted to remind you to follow along with me on Pinterest, Instagram, Twitter, HomeTalk and Facebook, so you don’t miss another post!
***********************************************
Let’s get started! Our rockers have needed a makeover for quite some time now. They’ve sat out in the elements and taken a beating for the past few years, and so it was definitely time for a fresh, bright-white coat of paint! So when I heard about the Americana Decor Outdoor Living paint and the protective layer that it would provide, I knew I had to give this awesome paint a try!
Here’s some info about this fabulous paint, per DecoArt — “Enhance your outdoor decor with this durable, eggshell-finish acrylic. No sealer required. Excellent resistance to water, scuffs, and fading. Ideal for wood, concrete, masonry, terra cotta, metal, most plastics, and more.” Doesn’t that sound fantastic? I think this type of paint is perfect for giving my rockers new life!
What you’ll need for this project:
- a really good paint brush
- the Americana Décor Outdoor Living paint from Hobby Lobby (Each tub is 8 oz. and covers 25 sq. ft.)
- sand paper
- drop cloth (optional)
Here’s what our tired rockers used to look like….Oh, and please don’t look at the scary mess that’s surrounding these rockers. It’s a little embarrassing.
And when I say our rockers have taken a beating, I mean, they’ve taken a serious beating! Here in Georgia, the elements can sometimes be extreme — severe thunderstorms, heavy rain, hail (occasionally), sometimes cold weather and definitely super-hot weather! 😉 It’s all over the board, but those are some of the many things I love about the South! And our crazy weather is exactly why I wanted to try this paint!
When prepping for this project, be sure to shake the paint tub really well, or else, it’ll be watery, and it won’t go on very evenly. I used a really good brush and applied 2 coats to each rocker. The paint dried super-quickly! And don’t forget…in between each coat, be sure to sand your rockers to give them a more even finish.
I spent a few hours painting these beauties, and I’m sooo happy I gave our rockers new life! So, here’s the after…The paint is a beautiful, bright white, and what a gorgeous eggshell finish!
So, if you’d like to check out this new paint, head to HobbyLobby.com to get more details. So, what do you think of this project? Don’t you feel the need to head outside and look for something to refinish using this paint? You’ll love how easy it is to apply!
Do you have any questions about my experience with this specific paint? I’d LOVE to hear about it! Comment below, or stop by Pinterest, Facebook or Instagram….It always makes my day to hear from my sweet readers! Have a great day!

Hello! These turned out beautiful! Could you share where you got the cushions and blankets?
Hey Nicole! Thank you for your kind words! To answer your question about the throw, I got that one at TJ Maxx, and in reference to the pillows…The rocking chair that has the 2 pillows on it — those pillows are last summer’s purchases from Target. The large, pompom pillow is from Homegoods. (They’re constantly bringing in more of those pompom pillows all the time!) 😉 Hope that helps!

Howdy! Do you know if they make any plugins to safeguard against hackers? I’m kinda paranoid about losing everything I’ve worked hard on. Any tips?
Hi, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i was just curious if you get a lot of spam comments? If so how do you stop it, any plugin or anything you can recommend? I get so much lately it’s driving me insane so any support is very much appreciated.
Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your content seem to be running off the screen in Safari.

Hope you get the issue resolved soon. Many thanks

Whats up this is somewhat of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding knowledge so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!

Hey there! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing several weeks of hard work due to no back up. Do you have any methods to protect against hackers?

When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get three e-mails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service? Thanks!
