My Recycled House

This was a rocking chair from when I was a baby...my mom used to rock me in it. It had a 70's lattice back to it that had busted and was crumbing apart. I removed all of it, and started sanding so I could add a fresh coat of paint. As I began sanding, green was coming through, it was obvious my mom had painted it blue at some point. I loved the effect of the green coming through so I just left it like that! Found a cute oilcloth fabric and gingham trim. I stapled the fabric to the front and back, padding it in the middle to fill, and then glue gunned the trim to hide the staples. Now it lives in Maisy's room, and I get to sit on it and read her stories at bedtime.
