Sweet and Shabby Rocking Chair



I found this small rocking chair that was in perfect condition.  It was just so boring in its current state and I wanted to do something fun with it.


Since it was small, I thought it would be perfect for a girl's room.  Of course I chose pink paint.


It needed a soft, comfy seat.  I wanted to upholster the seat, but due to technical difficulties, I decided to just make a seat cover.




This pink and white toile was just too sweet to pass up.  This was actually made from a shower curtain that I found at a thrift store.  I've had a lot of trouble finding fabric lately, so I started looking for window treatments, sheets, napkins, and clothing that can be used for home dec projects.



I just love this rocker.  It's going to my booth and I hope some little (or big) girl falls in love with it, too.

I'll be joining some parties so see my side bar for all the links.

  5. I think the slipcover brings a lot of charm to the chair and soften the look even more. Love the paint too and the fact the chair looks like a chair and not so much like a clunky rocking chair.

  6. I love the paint finish on that chair. I also really enjoyed your post on the faux french linen. I reposted it on my blog, Cedar Hill Ranch, so go take a look. http://cedarhillranch.blogspot.com/2011/05/faux-french-linen-by-decorating-diaries.html

  9. A great example here is the relationship between husband
    and wife, but even I have to know, what role
    are we playing and do our own dumb things in get my ex boyfriend back from time to time.
    But I don't think there are many patients being serve from than financial fund use in the project. She is invalidated by the very person who was supposed to be the reason her family fell apart. This will stir up the feeling of your heart pounding with the excitement of being with your partner.
