Pretty In Pink

This sweet little rocking chair was waiting for me when I walked into Saver's one day. I was immediately drawn to it because I have a weakness for rocking chairs. They just keep calling my name. Maybe it comes from rocking my own 5 children as babies and then 6 grandbabies. Its such a sweet wonderful memory.
It was so cute in its own right, but as usual I can't leave anything alone so
I grabbed a can of Kilz Spray paint. After it was primed well, I sanded it lightly and then used a can (ok it really took 2 cans) of Krylon's Ballerina Slipper Pink.

Now I can picture it ending up in a sweet little girl's room or

a beautiful vintage floral room.

For now it is hanging out at the antique mall.

Update- today I realized it has sold.

What do you think?

    I too love rocking chairs...and love that you painted this one pink! I am making a note of the brand and color...it's hard to find the perfect pink paint! Congrats on the sale! I have a booth at an antique mall too! Isn't it fun?
    Best Wishes and Blessings,
