The Rocking Chair Project

Because of all the furniture we moved around making room for Samantha, we ended up putting this little rocking chair in the nursery. It has actually gone through several re-creations. I thought that I had already posted some of these photos, but realized I never did, so here you go.


This is my $5 garage sale find, from back in college. Not so beautiful. But it reminded me of the little rocking chair my mom has in the same style. I'm glad I went ahead and picked it up!

When I moved to Albuquerque, I striped the rotting fabric off and gave it an overall cleaning. Then I gave re-upholstering a shot, and stuck it in our guest room. Much better, but far from perfect.

When we decided we were going to put this in the girls' room, I wanted to give it one more try. After priming it, we painted it white, and choose a fabric that would work well in just about any room. And I love how it turned out!! So fresh and clean!

(And if I try to re-do this chair ONE more time, someone, please stop me!)
