Meet Grandma's rocking chair. Many of us grandkids were rocked in this and my mama gave it to me a while back. It usually sat with clothes on it, collecting dust, but then... yes, then... I was gonna be a grandma! I actually redid this back when I did the white dresser redo, so that was around Nov. 2014. It was just before our little Toogster came into the world. All I knew was that I wanted to redo it, brighten it up and make it pretty.
I started with a white base and thought about it for a while...
Decided I wanted to do a distressed look on it, so I went that route. I thought I was done, but it was just too plain for me... so...
I love Cherry Blossoms, so I decided to do that! I always get nervous when I free hand any artwork, plus it was white and I didn't want to mess up, but I think that it turned out great!
Very simple and I loved it. But the more I looked at it, I thought it needed more distressing.
And so I did...
Not too much, but it was just enough. I like it and it looked great in the nursery. So I sealed it with my favorite Polycrylic and boom! Done! Now she has her own room in our house and it looks just as great in there!
