    12 Outdoor Furniture Makeovers That Are Easier Than You Think

    Its that time of the year, friends.

    Time for sipping drinks, preferably ones with little umbrellas, on porches, decks and patios.

    Furthermore, we should all be enjoying those beverages in pretty outdoor chairs, chaises and other comfortable perches. No?

    If you are like me though, as you were dusting the three inches or so of pollen off your outdoor furniture, you may have discovered the furniture needed a little facelift of its own.

    These outdoor furniture makeovers have my head brewing with ideas. The best part – they were all done with a HomeRight Paint Sprayer. That means they were easy as pie to re-hab.

    Now, if only a real facelift were that easy…and that inexpensive. 😉

    Wicker Furniture Makeovers

    Wicker Chair Makeover

    I am digging the classic white spin that Debbie from Refresh Restyle put on this wicker chair. The pattern on the cushion and pop of color on the pillows seals the deal.

    And quite the opposite, but just as awesome is this bright blue wicker chair makeover from HomeJelly.

    Christy at 11 Magnolia Lane completely transformed her patio set (and saved herself a ton of money in the process!) by painting, yep painting her outdoor cushions – with a paint sprayer! I love how the green and white pillows pop off the white.

    Metal Outdoor Furniture Makeover

    Outdoor Metal Table Makeover

    Farm Fresh Vintage Finds took her old rusty table to brand new in no time at all and saved herself cans and cans of spray paint. Yes, friends, you can paint metal with something besides spray paint – you just need a sprayer!

    Adirondack Chair Makeovers

    My mouth is still open at this adirondack chair rehab from Virginia Sweet Pea. Do you see the before?! #nailedit

    Adirondack Chair Makeover

    If you want to add a pop of color to your adirondack chairs, go with a bold red and yellow like Front Porch Mercantile did. These totally belong right beside a beach.

    Bamboo & Rattan Chair MakeoversRattan Chair MakeoverWhen I saw all six of these chairs on Craigslist for $25, I couldn’t pass them up. I gave them a super colorful paint job, but anchored them with black and white upholstery.

    Outdoor Bench Makeovers 
    Park Bench MakeoverA Prudent Life did a killer job on stripping and then re-staining this outdoor park bench.

    Outdoor Bench Makeover

    This red bench makeover from Four Generations One Roof does go perfectly with the fall, but it could totally rock a 4th of July party as well.

    Outdoor Bench Makeover

    The Painted Chandelier opted for a light blue color on her outdoor bench. I love how it pops against the bright pink flowers above it.

    And its not furniture, but let’s all admit that the paraphernalia that comes with circus’ could use some sprucing up more than we care to admit…
    Playhouse Makeover

    I’m just going to go ahead and say it. I want this playhouse for myself. Seriously. This playhouse makeover from Ciburbanity could quite possibly look better than my house. Staining a Swingset

    Ummm. Fo Realz? That swing set looks brand spankin’ new! HeartWorkOrg killed it! Yes, the HomeRight Finish Max and Finish Max Pro can both be used with stain.

  • Mailbox Makeover in less than an hour

    Mailbox Makeover in less than an hour

    Before we start this, I just have to say how touched I was by all of your sweet, sweet comments on my whole sappy dreams coming true post yesterday. Y’all seriously floored me and I’m still going through responding to each of you. All I can say is wow. I’m so blessed to have you as not only readers, but friends.

    Ok, that’s all the sappiness I can do for one day. Onto the mailbox makeover.

    Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Thompson’s, but ya’ll know how I roll, all opinions are 100% mine. This post contains affiliate links for your shopping convenience. Click here to read my full disclosure policy.

    Does anyone else tend to sometimes forget about their outdoor decor? (Ooo, she’s rhyming this morning.)

    I do. I don’t forget about my porch, but things like my mailbox that aren’t as close to my actual living space, often get overlooked. I tend to focus on decorating inside. Needless to say, my mailbox was looking rough.

    Grunt Labor had put some stain on the mailbox post a couple years ago when we first moved in our beloved foreclosure. It hadn’t been touched since.

    Mailbox Makeover in less than an hour {rainonatinroof.com} #mailbox #makeover #thompsonsSee what I mean? Now, those mums are the bee’s knees, Grunt Labor is an excellent gardener, but the mailbox needed a facelift.

    I started by giving the post a quick wipe-down to remove any spiderwebs and grossness. I also removed the actual mailbox. I gave the post a coat of Thompson’s Exterior Wood Stain in Traditional Brown.

    Mailbox Makeover in less than an hour {rainonatinroof.com} #mailbox #makeover #thompsonsThis was my first rodeo with a spray stain. It worked just like a regular canned stain, except of course its a spray. But, just like with regular stain, you can wipe off any excess stain you don’t want depending on how dark you want the stain. I wanted my post pretty brown, so I didn’t wipe off any stain and I gave it two coats.

    Just after the first and second coats, this is what the post looked like:

    Don’t worry about that unevenness look, it all soaks in and evens out in the end. If you do have any runs though, you will want to wipe those away.

    While the post was drying, I decided to give the numbers a facelift as well with a coat of green spray paint and I cleaned the bird poo off the mailbox itself. I’m sure my postman is grateful.

    In under an hour the post was dry and I had the numbers and mailbox reattached.
