Good morning friends! This week our article came out in the Life@Home magazine came out. You can see it here; we’re pages 53-55. A huge thank you to Life@Home, to Cari for making me feel like I was chatting with a friend and not being “interviewed” and to Tony for a fun photo shoot. It was an amazing experience every step of the way and we feel so blessed to have this opportunity.
Let’s get our furniture makeovers on shall we?
Ellie messaged me about this rocking chair that was on our upcoming project page. She wanted something to go with her daughter’s (Molly Mae) Happy Tree bedding set. We talked about different colors but decided on a warm, pale teal color so that it would be gender neutral for when more babies come along. Ellie’s planning on at least 10… just kidding!
So, here she was before. She looks good, just needed a little tightening up. John tightened all the screws and glued and clamped the legs just to make sure they stayed tight.
Then, I made chalk paint and hand painted the teal. I then free handed the details. It’s NOT easy to detail a rocking chair. I learned that lesson on this project. There was just no good way to sit and paint without it rocking everywhere. It seems like a small thing, but it did make a normally pretty simple design a bit complicated.
Ellie asked me to add Molly Mae’s birthday onto the arm of the chair. Done! Sooooo cute to me.
And a close up for good measure!
Little Molly Mae came with her mommy to pick up the chair. I am completely taken by that little girl. She was sooooo cute!!! Here’s a picture to prove it.

Thanks Ellie for the business and for the wonderful chat while you were here. So sweet!!!
Have a great week and happy redesigns,
Sarah
