The New Old Chair

Emily's Grandma Walker had a really cute little rocking chair when she was little that was made by her dad. Emily has now inherited this little rocking chair and she is so happy to have her own little comfy seat to read books in. I love having heirloom pieces like this, something that will stay in the family for many more decades I hope! It needed a little loving so my mom and I tackled the job this last weekend. We added a little extra padding to the arms and added a few extra touches like buttons and cording to it. This is the first time my mom and I have ever reupholstered anything and it took a few extra days than anticipated but I think it turned out so cute.
