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

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:)
LOVE LOVE LOVE your fur rocker! What a beautiful pain job!!! I bet it's toasty and so so comfortable!
I love this! The fur makes it look dreamy and cozy. What a great idea for a chair cushion!
Wow that turned out GREAT, I love the look and feel of it. And a rug I never would have thought to do that!

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!
look so cozy! I need a rocker! Found you via diana rambles.

I love this rocker! I am totally inspired by it. I have recently set out to find a used rocker to redo for my nursery and this is great inspiration! I hope to find a solid rocker like yours that I can redo.. I also love the fur!! I am your newest follower! If you ever have time come check out my blog!

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!

Love this chair! You did a great job redoing it! I would love if you would share this over at my blog hop http://www.ablossominglife.com/2013/01/frugal-crafty-home-hop-5.html
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.
Love your chair! What a great idea to use the fur rug.
So visiting with you today.
Blessings, Amy

Wow! What a gorgeous chair you've created. I decided to follow you through email as I have missed these last few posts. You are so talented that I don't want to miss another thing! Cheers.
Absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for linking up!
Absolutely love the paint color and chair! So talented! Hope I can find that paint color in the store to do a dresser in similar likeness. ;-)
