Trash to Treasure

So Monday night we had a family first. At least it was a first for me and the kids. Thad needs some new camo gear for an upcoming paintball outing and so we went shopping at goodwill to find some. We did find pants for him, but we also found this rocking chair for Andi. She was so excited when she saw it, and I thought it could be this weeks project. Here is the before, and it's not even a true before because I had already taken the nasty stickers off of it and scrubbed it.

And here is the after, after some sanding, puttying, spray primer and spray paint. And then I thought it still needed a little something so I made the little cushion from the leftover material from Andi's magnet board and some leftover batting.


Excuse the fuzzy picture, Thad had the camera set on something weird and I can't get it changed. So for now I am stuck with the fuzzy photo.
