finished product

The rocking chair is complete! Dexter has given it a whole new life...which is pretty good considering it is probably 20 years old or more.  It looks so very different from where it began, but I like it!

It was a lot more work than I anticipated, and I didn't even do anything. I did help a bit...stretching fabric when asked. But mostly, I took the pictures.

There was sanding...

there are the birds again!
Kyalo supervised:



(argh! still can't get side-by-side photos! help!?)

It was painted:

and new sponge added...

then it was tested...

(Kyalo looks a little uncertain)
and, then, it was finished!

{ta da!}

So to remind you:

Quite a difference, eh?

Great job, Dexter! Well done. I love the new look--and seeing Kyalo testing it out. . . . It might be fun to take pictures of him in the chair as he grows bigger and fills the seat more . . .
