Before and After Rocking Chair

There's nothing I like better than restoring a piece of junk into something lovely to look at and even better if it is good to use too. Case in point is my comfy old rocking chair.

I "rescued" (they don't call me "Fingers Flynn" for nothing) this sad looking chair from a skip (dumpster) near my house. I added a little elbow grease, paint , fashioned a few shabby chic cushions and...viola! The cutest piece of cottage furniture you could ask for and my favourite spot for late night reading. Perfect for a cheap chick - rock chick, rocking chick, shabby chic...whatever!

Just spotted the post about the rocking chair and have to say what a great job you did on it. I saw it in another post too (before and after of your cottage living room) and was impressed then. How cosy your home is.
