The rocking chair: before and after :)

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:

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…

A rocking chair…

Hello my friend!

I need your advice…

This is what it’s all about…

a rocking chair…

I found this vintage rocking chair in a flea market and fall in love with it, with its shape but not with its color 🙁 a vintage grey…

Hubby loves the color as it is…

not me…

I tried to add some colors…

but I’m still not totally satisfied with the result…

I have to paint it 🙂 and I am quite sure that hubby will love it even more if it is in another color…

So, I need your advice…

What color should I paint it? I’m thinking about a lime green or maybe a lavender blue…what do you think?

And I have to make a seat for it too … a lovely colorful seat 😉

Waiting for your wonderful advice …

Kisses!

Almost a year now that I’ve started this big hooky project: (If you’re interested…you can read the very first post of it HERE !): Love birds: A crocheted granny bedspread for our room…and today…well today…it is done 🙂 finished 🙂 and I am totally in love…And I can’t wait to show you….

Are you readyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?

Yarn: Nako Vizon (a 100% acrylic yarn)

Hook: 4mm

Pattern of the squares: Here

Joining: I joined the squares together with a row of sc with the dark turquoise color.

I am totally crazy in love with it I must confess 🙂 and I can’t wait for each night to come so I can wrap myself with it before falling asleep 🙂

And I am very proud of myself too cause, you know, it is a very big project: 110 squares in total. Each one made with 8 rounds 😀

Hope you love it as much as I do 🙂

Have a wonderful end of week and end of year too!

See you in 2013 😉
