ROCKING CHAIR BEFORE AND AFTER!

I HAD DONE A WOOD ROCKING

CHAIR FOR MY MOM PREVIOUSLY

BUT I FOUND THIS ONE AT 

THE THRIFT STORE

FOR $5.99 AND IT WAS 25 PERCENT

OFF THAT DAY SO I COULD'NT 

RESIST! AND THIS ONE WOULD

BE MINE!

BEFORE...

INSPIRED BY THESE BLUES

I CHOSE THE COLOR

 EMPIRE FLEET BLUE BY VALSPAR

BUT IT ACTUALLY WAS'NT MY 

FIRST CHOICE FOR THE ROCKER

YOU CAN SEE MY FIRST COLOR

SHOWING THRU A LITTLE WHERE

I DISTRESSED THE PIECE AND 

I LIKE IT SHOWING THRU.

HERE IS MY AFTER...

I CALL HER MISS BEAUREGARDE!

HOPE YOU LIKE HER!

LABOR OF LOVE

 

IM ON A SPECIAL MISSION TO DELIVER MY

MOM A CHRISTMAS PRESENT WHICH I KNOW

IS LATE BUT I FINALLY GOT IT DONE.

SHE WANTED ME TO REDO A ROCKING CHAIR

FOR HER AS SHE JUST GOT HER PATIO FINISHED.

SO I FOUND A NICE ROCKING CHAIR AT THE

THRIFT STORE, NICE AND STURDY..

HERE IS THE BEFORE...

AND HERE IS THE AFTER. I HOPE MY

MOM LOVES HER AS MUCH AS I DO...

DO YOU THINK SHE WILL LIKE HER?

THIS IS A LIGHTER TURQUOISE THAN

I USUALLY USE. I USED VALSPAR COZUMEL, THOUGHT I'D TRY IT..

ROCKIN' ROBIN

ROCKIN' ROBIN

was the name that popped into my head after

i painted this piece.

there she was way up high

but i spotted her the moment i walked into the thrift store !!!

before...

dingy and dirty and way up high

im glad she was because i dont think

anyone noticed little rockin robin.

or didnt want to take the time to have

someone get her down. ive gotten a

couple pieces this way.

and with a little tlc she became

part of the family.

after...

shes so beautiful i think i want to bring her indoors and use and enjoy her

inside my home...
