Thrifted Rocking Chair Makeover

I mentioned in this post that I find these country style wood items at Goodwill all the time. They practically give them awayI guess that's how unpopular they are? I couldn't believe this child sized rocking chair was just $5.99! Sure, it looked dated and plain, but that's easy to fix with paint and fabric!
Here's a before and after of the front. It went from country charm to whimsical modern!
Before and after picture of the back.
