Rocking Chair Repaint

       Here you can see two doll rockers I have refinished for our larger 18 inch dolls or baby doll sizes. I purchased them originally at resale for five dollars each. Both were painted blue by their former owners.

Left, I used a scrapbook paper depicting a woven fabric for the grey rocker.
Center, I sanded down some of the areas on the wooden frame to give it
an aged appearance. Right close up of the arm of the chair.

Photos of both rockers after they have been repainted and decoupaged
 to use with our 18" doll displays. 

Left and Center are close up views of faux staining technique. The original grain
 of the wooden rocker was not obvious enough so I chose to paint it back on using
a variety of brown acrylic colors. Right, an unusual vintage shelf paper, photo of
 cane web mesh decoupaged onto a wooden seat.
