Rocking Chair

For the past few months we have been searching for a rocking chair for our nursery. We finally found one on Craigslist for the right price ($25)! However, it was bright red. We snatched it up and decided we would sand it down and paint it green! Fortunately for us, my mother-in-law knew about a specific Primer you can use instead of sanding everything down. We found it and my husband got to work.


We forgot to take a Before picture so we got one before we finished the primer.



After the Primer coat!


All green now! We love the color and how it turned out! Now we have a beautiful rocking chair to rock our little guy to sleep! We also put a gloss coat on the top to finish it off, but I haven't taken a picture of it in the nursery yet. Now it just needs a nice, soft cushion to make it perfect! Anyone know how to make a seat cushion?
