Rocker in Shabby Denim Paint and White Fur

Happy 2013!
 
A time for New Things.
 
I'm looking forward to it and hope you are too.
 
 
How about this for something new...
 
 
 
 
Here's a warm winter welcome with a fur fabric seat.
 
It's my Eskimo and Denim Rocker.
 
Maybe it's just my winter weirdness but I'm really liking the fur.
 
 
 
 
It makes a cozy corner to read and have a cup of coffee in the morning.
 
........................
 
I started with a rocker I bought at the thrift store
 
many years ago.  It needed love and repair.
 
One of the back slats was missing so I had to replace that.
 
This is how I painted it then.
 
 
 
 
 
It was definitely time for an update.
 
I painted over in Miss Mustard Seed Shutter Gray Milk Paint.
 
Then I rubbed on the Miss Mustard Seed Dark Antiquing Wax.
 
I used this combination in a different way on The Painted Sideboard.
 
On that piece I used clear wax first then the antique wax.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
This gives it the Worn Denim look I'm going for.
 
The detail pattern I decided on
 
reminds me of a stitch pattern or beadwork pattern
 
from Indian design.
 
I'm thinking Moccasins and beaded purses.
 
To make the circle design, paint the rim of a lid
 
and press in place.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I'm using white and suede mix for my light paint detail.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Now here's where I decide to go with fun  fur.
 
I could have been all civilized and went with
 
this awesome coffee sack that I have..
 
 
 
 
But my winter mood today decides on the unexpected texture.
 
Actually, I used my Wal-Mart rug.
 
 
 
 
I only used about 6 staples to attach.
 
so it would be very easy to remove
 
and switch out.
 
 
 
 
Oh, but why would I want to!
 
I can see this in a lodge with antlers and a big stone fireplace.
 
(or my bedroom : ) )
 
 
 
 
 
Pin It!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Pin It!

 
 
 I'm looking forward to all of the Handmade Things 2013 Brings!
 
Blessings Friends,
 
Deb

    I am truly in love with this redo! I've seen nothing like it. There's an old rocker out in my garage that you've inspired me to paint! Wish mine had a cushion. Maybe I could find one to fit. The best part is your Walmart rug! Thrifty thinking:)

    I love this! What a great idea. And the fur might be a little wintery, but with the right surrounding decor it just might fit into any season!

    Deb, I love this! Your little painted details are my favorite part, but I also love that fur seat, and the fact that it can be changed out so easily. Would never have thought to use a rug! You're so creative. I have a very similar rocker in my bedroom too....might have to copy your idea!

    That's awesome! I love it. I've got a piece of white fake fur I've been pondering making into a pillow. This is also a great use! Love the grey color too.
