Dumpster Chair: Round 2

Last Sunday on our way to church we saw a rocker/glider chair sitting by the garbage (you my have seen it too, it may have been yours once) ... Since my favorite pastime is re-doing furniture, we gave it a look over--and decided it was broken & kinda junky.

So we left it there.

Then while I was sitting in church, I started thinking about it ... and I had a vision. So Yes, I made Jordan drag home yet another chair. That makes 8 chairs in our apartment (4 standard issue tva chairs & 4 that I have redone). My vision was to make the rocking chair and give it to a couple in our ward that is expecting a baby. So thats what I did ... but they don't have space for it. So we still have 8 chairs in our apartment (Don't worry I am posting some on craigslist) 

But, Here is the before & after of the baby glider: 

I didn't really get a good before picture. ... I had already started sanding and painting when I realized we didn't take one, but you get the idea

& this was the lovely, very 1992 fabric that the cushions were covered in ... gross.

And here is the after... 

I used vintage fabric that a sweet elderly lady gave me at a yard sale in Laie a few months ago & yellow paint from a previous project. So all I had to buy was a couple buttons & some ric rac.  I love the vintage, rustic look ... too bad we don't have a nursery to decorate.

If you know anyone who might need a rocking chair let me know.
