$5 Rocking Chair Makeover

I’ve told you several times about this mega garage sale event that I had the opportunity to shop at.  I found our new $10 playhouse there and several other goodies I’m working on.  This rocking chair was one of my really good finds.

Structurally, it was in pretty good shape.  It just needed some fresh paint and some sprucing up.  I tore the old cushion covers off and had My Better Half cut a new seat base just to be safe 🙂

I looked for vinyl material and couldn’t really find any that I loved for the price I wanted to pay.   So I picked up this vinyl table cloth in the summer section at Walmart for $4.

I cut the tablecloth to fit the cushion and used the staple gun to attach it.
I (with the help of my son) painted the rocking chair white and then put the new seat on the chair frame.

I’m not sure this is the new home of the rocking chair but for now I’ve spent several evenings on the back porch…just a swingin’.

    Super cute! I’m working on a rocking chair today too. Don’t think it’s going to stay with me unfortunately because I don’t have room for it! 🙁 Maybe it won’t sell and then I’ll have to keep it!!! 🙂

    Nice! I especially liked the use of the vinyl tablecloth. Vinyl can be so expensive and this is a great use of it and easy to get another when you want a change.
