This is the rocking chair that I bought from a garage sale for my baby’s nursery. It is very comfortable and big, but doesn’t really match the decor in his room. So I painted the chair white and put blue fabric all over it. I then painted some wooden buttons brown and sewed those on. Lastly, I used a 1 inch grosgrain ribbon and sewed that onto the front for some more color. I love the results and how it looks in his nursery.

It looks great! Question: what were the steps you took before you painted the chair? I'm thinking of painting the crib we have but am worried about the process. Thank you!
Kaysi
I used spray paint. I primed it and then painted it. If I were to do a crib, I would sand it real quick and then prime and paint.

You are brave. If I had seen that at a yard sale, I would of said, No way.
It looks wonderful. Enjoy rocking that cutie pie.
Blessings,

That looks awesome! I need a rocking chair for my babies room but I never thought to refinish an old one. Thanks for the inspiration!

SUPER cute! I was actually thinking about recovering our glider, as it's looking pretty sorry after two years with our daughter. We still rock as part of her bedtime routine, and I have to say it's just nasty looking these days! Thanks for the motivation, as baby #2 will be here in April and I need to get MOVING! Great job!
Steph @ somewhatsimple
WOW! That looks great!

I did the same thing with an old rocker too and I love that it matches better than anything I could have bought in the store! And way cheaper! Good work! I love the colors!
Amanda

I LOVE this make over! Where did you find the pattern for the cushions? I have one that I need to recover but the seat cushion is completely history.
Kaysi
Pattern??? What's that? I seriously don't know how to use a pattern, I actually just put the fabric over the existing fabric and hand stitched it to the cushion.
Thanks for all the comments everyone!!
Its So Very Cheri
