Take an old glider rocking chair and give it a new facelift by recovering the cushions and giving the furniture a little updated color change.
I love the way that this piece of furniture now has a timeless classic look to it!
The cushions have a beautiful ornate damask print, and the chair was painted a lacquer black.

Painting. I always paint everything I possible can at one time. Less cleanup later ;)
The before. It was pretty nasty! I forgot to take a picture of the cushions before I got them recovered.
Oak color....love it or hate it, it is gone

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
I have a glider rocker that is about 30 yrs. old. It is very sentimental and I want to keep it around when the day comes that I have grand babies. Can you tell me how you prepped your wood for painting? Did you spray paint it? Sand? Clean? I am very interested in this project.
Also, what steps did you take to recover the cushion?
