{the chair}

I bought this little rocking chair at a garage sale 2 years ago with the intention of painting it white for Morgan's room. It was wobbly and scratched, but it only cost $1.00. I couldn't pass it up, even though I had NEVER painted anything in my life.

The chair sat in the garage for the last 2 years until I was finally ready to tackle it this past week.

Please excuse the blurred out newspaper. You know how neurotic I am, and it gave away our top-secret location!


I sanded and painted:

Morgan enjoyed:

After:

I think I may still paint some butterflies or stencil something, but I'm going to wait until I have Morgan's bedding picked out. For now I think it looks pretty cute for my first attempt!
