The rocking chair: before and after :)

By
February 12, 2013

Gooooood morning my friend!

I am super duper happy today to show you the rocking chair and its before and after…

I know that many of you suggested that I leave it in its original color … sorry 🙁 I couldn’t …as I did not like at all its sad grey color… I had to transform it so every time I look at it I have a smiley idiot face 🙂 hahaha

I loved every suggestion you left for me… and after the original post I was a little bit confused between all these wonderful ideas: red, yellow, beige, blue, green, orange woooow! Wish I could have it in a different color each day…but I had to make a choice and here it was…

Are you readyyyyyyyy?

Before:

After:

Yes, a blue lavender…the pics don’t show the color as it is “live”…The real color is a little bit more “purple” if you see what I mean…

This is the fabric I chose…

I am really really really so in love with my rocking chair as I keep changing the blanket and the pillow on it… and looking at it and smiling 🙂 yes, that idiot smile 😉

Two last pics for you…

Excuse the pics…the light was too much strong this morning…but I could not resist taking the pics as soon as I woke up 🙂

Thank you dear friend for your visit today… I am always very happy to have you and to read your sweet and kind mails and comments 🙂

Have a lovely sunshiny day!

    Bleu lavande, tu l’avais envisagé dès le départ et c’est très réussi ! Moi non plus, je n’aime pas le gris que la plupart du temps je trouve trop triste. Très bonne semaine à toi et à ta famille !

    Quelle belle chaise berçante. Ici à Montréal c’est encore l’hiver mais avons une journée plus douce et c’est très gris dehors, nous avons eu un peu de pluie très tôt ce matin et allons en avoir d’autre plus tard mais toutes les belles couleurs ensoleillées de ta chaise m’ont fait du bien. Tout est magnifique. Félicitations et j’ai hâte de voir ton projet « secret »…
