Today I have a different kind of makeover for you. \u00a0For this one I didn’t even pick up a paint brush.<\/p>\n

A little while back we were at a salvage place looking for supplies for the house. \u00a0It’s amazing what you can find at these places. \u00a0If I can ever get some good pictures I will show you the pretty things we made with reclaimed lumber. It’s amazing how it cost the same as new but it so much stronger and better looking. \u00a0Anyway, while we were there I wanted to take everything home but of course TB wouldn’t let me!<\/p>\n

What I did come home with was a vintage, solid wood rocking chair. \u00a0It’s one of those chairs you sit and immediately remark how comfortable it is. \u00a0In fact I believe TB stayed seated in it while we were negotiating prices. \u00a0It’s not too big so it feels really comfy. \u00a0The paint isn’t original but I didn’t want to touch it. \u00a0Although chippy isn’t my go to thing, this has a very cool chippy look that I couldn’t mess with. \u00a0Instead it just got a good all over cleaning.<\/p>\n

The upholstery on the other hand wasn’t so great (although in this picture the paint looks pretty bad too!)<\/p>\n

\"Ridiculous<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s one thing for a rocking chair to remind you of grandmas. \u00a0It’s another if the upholstery does.<\/p>\n

So off with the sage colored dingy flowers. \u00a0On with the nubby linen-ish fabric in off white. \u00a0It gives the chair a cleaner look that I thought would be a better fit in most homes. \u00a0 If you like it pop over to the shop where it is for sale.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Ridiculous<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is a close up of the chippy paint.<\/p>\n

And another of my favorite part, the arm that looks like it has been well worn over the years. \u00a0Many hands using it as support to get out of the chair over and over.<\/p>\n
