And here it is now after a coat of Heirloom White paint and a new, pretty fabric for the seat....
My hubby helped me recover it. Okay, so we didn't do a professional job but it looks nice and more importantly, it's done after procrastinating for more than 5 months!
I took the blankets off so you can see the back of it. This rocker was bought at a yard sale for $10. The woman selling it told me it had belonged to her mother in law and that many babies were rocked in this chair. And now I sit in it with my "babies." How special!
I also wanted to say thank you to all who came to visit Rue and her sweet home. I was so glad to have her here and for the opportunity to show off her talents. It's always fun to meet new bloggers and have a new one to stalk...errrr.....read. I hope you found a new blogging friend in Rue.

Hello sweet Michelle - oh how I love your rocker make-over! It has been given new life with that heirloom white. And I really like the fabric you chose. The blanket is precious! I have one my MIL made for me that's very similar. I love it and take it with me where ever I go!

Beautiful job on the chair, it's lovely. Thank you for stopping by my blog as it gave me an opportunity to visit yours. Always nice to meet new blog friends.
Merci, Michelle
The chair looks great! I also have a chair that I am re-doing that I will be putting in my daughter's room. It is her great-grandma's. I have had this chair for about 7 yrs. and done nothing with it! I am also painting it white and covering it with cute pink and green girly fabric!
I am so excited to finally be putting it to good use. You will have to check it out on my blog! www.sunshinesdesign.blogspot.com
I just found your blog and your house is beautiful. Thank you for sharing! Your blog is lovely.
