One of the things I knew I wanted from the beginning, for Baby #2's nursery, was an awesome rocking chair. With Brinley I had a glider and although it was comfy it just took up way too much space. The nursery in our home is on the smaller side so I went looking for a wooden rocking chair that would be comfy but that was a much better size. I found this chair on VarageSale for $50. It had a tiny creak on one side but my husband fixed that with a screw. It is really comfy and nice to sit in but man did I hate the colour!
After giving it a good sanding I picked out furniture paint in "Scooter" and got to work. Here it is after the last coat:
Now as much as I love this colour it is just too much turquoise! I know, I really can't believe I am saying that 😳. I decided that all it needed was, what every piece of furniture needs, DISTRESSING!!!!! I have an obsession with distressed things so this was going to be fun! And it was.
I finished off the chair with a few coats of clear coat in order to protect the distressed wood parts. And here is the finished product in all its glory!
I love how it turned out! I cannot wait for baby to get here so we can rock together ❤️. This is one of the last big projects for the new nursery. It feels so good checking things off the list!
