I love projects like this! This is the reason I started painting furniture…bringing new life to old, loved, sentimental pieces of furniture.

This rocking chair was Sue’s as a child. We all know the dark wood, fruit and bird designs of the 70s!

This rocker had been sitting in Sue’s basement for years until she reached out to Hazel Mae Home to update it for her two year old daughter, Kate. I painted it in Annie Sloan Old White and lightly distressed. The monogram was done in Annie Sloan Henrietta and Old White.

Now this adorable rocker will be loved and used by Kate rather than sitting in the basement! Rock on, Kate! (sorry…couldn’t help it.)
