Rock-a-bye, Baby: Rehabbed Rocking Chairs


Christa and Matt are expecting their first baby soon!
And what's the number one requirement?
A great rocking chair!!!!!!!!
 
Actually, thanks to Grandma and Grandpa, they're getting two!
They're not so great looking just yet. But they will be!
First I glued all the loose joints.
 Next, I got out the sander - much needed!

After priming they look like this.

 ...and after a coat of semigloss white.
 And here's the chair after I upholstered the seat and back in this great
green and ivory graphic fabric.
 I added chunky pewter nailheads to secure the backs.
 Who needs new when you can have rehabbed?
These are quality pieces that will last forever!
Delivered to the front porch of Christa and Matt's new home.
Soon, it will be Rock-a-bye, baby time!!!
Good luck, you two!!
