Old to Bold Rocking Chair

February 8, 2016 · by: Jen 1 Comment

(Before) Old to Bold Rocking Chair Makeover - by Grandma's House DIY

Tarah inherited a lot of antique furniture after her grandmothers passed away.  One by one she’s refinishing the pieces, like this old rocker that wasn’t even safe to sit on.  First she added new support and padding, and then chose a bright new fabric for it.

She says, “This was my first upholstery project so I learned along the way that it was both easier and harder than I thought!”  Visit Grandma’s House DIY for more details on this rocking chair makeover and to learn about her 100-year-old farmhouse renovation.
