So I found this little lonely rocking chair just calling my name at the thrift store….”take me home, fix me up, update my fabric, read a book on me…” (again, I admit, I am odd….) I digress….I took this little chair home….and here is what happened…
Dated, old, seafoam paint, the lil lady needed a makeover….I sort of felt like Oprah…for just a second..
Come on out girl….show us that makeover…Ok, I’ll stop now…But isn’t she pretty!
I pulled all the old fabric off and sanded down the really rough parts.
Then I primed with an oil base white primer. Followed up with a gloss white paint. 2 coats.
When I took the fabric off I marked the back to use it for a pattern. Worked great!
I replaced the foam and material by stapling it in place. Then I used white trim to cover the staples.
I love her!!

Nice job! The chair looks very happy. J
I love her, too!
Beautiful!! Was that chair really only $8!! What an awesome find. And I also LOVE LOVE LOVE the black and white chair you can see through the doorway in one of your pictures. Where did you find that???
oh my gosh, I have this EXACT same rocker! I saved it from a dumpster….mine is still wood and fabric hideousness, sitting on the front porch, waiting for me to reinvent it. Yours turned out great! What an odd sized rocker, like 3/4 size!
