Before and After: Mini Rocking Chair
My first ever Facebook Marketplace purchase – a total success. I bought this adorable little rocking chair for poor little Owen who has no toys anywhere and hardly gets a lick of attention {Opposite day}.
Since Owen thinks he’s a big boy who can hold his own bottle and thinks he can do a better job at spooning in the rice cereal, I thought I’d make it a big boy chair. He loves to watch {snooze through} hocky games with his dad, so this is his very own “shark tank” rocking chair.

Okay, we may be a little topsy-turvey still, but in a coupla months, he’ll have it down pat.
Rocking Chair Before and After
This is the rocker my mom used with all of her seven children; it is over 40 years old. She offered it to me and my husband when we found out we were pregnant {although me and several siblings have been diligently hinting at it for years}.
I scored at Joann Fabrics to recover it for $3/yard. My mom recovered the cushions complete with zippers and her custom piping {she’s “passionate about piping!”} and she added some scrap batting to make them more durable. My hubby sanded and stained it with gel stain, sealed it with varnish, and now it’s good as new! It’s tiny and perfect for the size of the room… and I had very little hand in the project: win-win!
One more little detail, and then I’ll reveal the baby room… almost done!
