My husband was given three rockers for free from Mr. Lewis (Lewis Carpet) one of the most likable guys you would ever want to meet from Sylva, NC! My husband is a truck driver just in case you are wondering and he meets lots of people on his routes and he asked Mr. Lewis what he was going to do with them. (Throw them away)!My loving man took them to their new home. So, we are sanding and painting the rockers we want to rock in and one rocker for yard art. Do you like yard art? I do, I don't have one of those yards that is perfect so I get to add imperfect things that add shabbiness or interest to the garden. This rocker was added to my shade garden with a Japanese painted fern that got to big for the pot. With my birthday coming up soon I wanted to add a quote from Audrey Hepburn for all us beautiful women with just a little age. This rocker is retired but keeps on being beautiful which is absolutely how I feel and I hope is how you see the rocker! I'm not retired but feel more beautiful than I have ever have. I don't think I will ever retire but I do buy old and beautiful things I love which I know Audrey would be proud of! Audrey Hepburn a shabby girl after my own shabby heart!
Do things that you love and stay tune for more shabby beautiful!

I love your rocker and I love the shabby look. I am like you and love yard art especially when it is this pretty.
ReplyDeleteDear Deborah:
ReplyDeleteI love the saying on the chair and what you have created. This looks darling! Thanks for sharing and linking. I love Shabby Chic!
A very cute rocker, Debby! Looks really pretty with the plant in it. I too love shabby chic. Thanks for sharing it with us and enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteI love how you turned the rocker into a planter. I love the way you painted it with chalk paint and the saying too.

Wow. The rocker really looks amazing outdoors.

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with SYC.
This rocker is rocking it with a new lease on life. It looks fabulous.
ReplyDeleteYour chair turned out so cute! I've often thought of doing this too but never have. You have to have the right chair to start with and you did.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thoughts of Home, Debby. :)
Debby, I'm so glad that your hubby rescued them from being thrown away. Really turned out cute. I love the addition of the chalkboard with the saying! Gotta love Audrey!! I have a chair with a planter in my garden. Not a rocker, but I love it! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
