We were in need of a rocking chair for our nursery. Yes you heard that right. More on that later ....:)
I dreamed of it being the most perfect cool mint in color.
I think it turned out exactly how I dreamed it would.
Add a pillow for comfort and you have yourself a perfect little spot for rocking.
Here is how I did it:
I found this chair on craigslist. It has to be a 100 years old. Handmade and super sturdy.
I used a paint from Lowes(olympic-sweetpea).
So I just picked a nice halfway spot and taped it off with painters tape.
I just used one of my craft sponges and did a light coat and let it dry and then repeated until the color seemed dark enough. I even realized later that I didn't even prime it. I had a box fan blowing on it the entire time which really helped with the drying.
Happy rocking.

I LOVE this chair. I always want to start doing more projects after I see all of your amazing "conversions". So cute!
Really cute. All I can think about since you stopped blogging was how sick you were with your last pregnancy ... I hope it's not the same this time for ya! Exciting news! And I second the "glad you are back" comment. : )
