good morning!the count down to school holidays is on here!
the girls are very happy to only have 4 days left before a nice
long 2 week break.
we have a great holiday planned too!
here is my lovely old scrolly rocking chair. all done!
i just love her. she is now so feminine and pretty.fits right in here!
Kacey my youngest rocks away in it all the time.
well she did, until i came home from the markets on Sunday morning
with a $40 elliptical rider! most of us have at least one child that NEVER stops.
and when i say NEVER, i mean never stops moving, talking, jumping and bopping around the house!
i would love to have just a handful of her energy!
for some reason my photos are a bit BLAH this morning.LOOOVE the curves and scrolls.
sanded to show a bit of her original colour.
pretty fabric was cheap as chips from Spotlight.wishing i bought more now!
my staple gun died half way through the process,so she sat like this for a few weeks
before....

Hi Kate, can't wait for the school holidays either. Great job on the rocker - enjoy your day. Sandy x
ReplyDeleteYour rocker looks great. Did that china cabinet in the background used to be a light veneer? We had one that was passed down from my hubby's family and we always thought it was ugly so got rid of it years ago...that was before I started painting things white...kinda wish we still had it!!
ReplyDeleteLove your filing cabinet painted white too, I would never have thought to paint the metal.
That is an adorable transformation. Much better in white.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful transformation! I love the look of the white with bits of the original finish showing through and the fabric you used is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThat bentwood rocker is so adorable! I love the white with your pretty fabric. Great job.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful rocker. You did a great job on the re do, and I just LOVE the new material.
