When I found out that I was having my third baby--- this is the rocking chair that I dreamed of buying.When I found out it would cost close to $2,000-- I realized more WHY I called it my dream chair.
This is the glider rocker that I currently have and used with Kayla and Hayden. (it has a blanket on it).I was determined to find my dream chair.....ebay....craigslist.....even online kids furniture stores.
I found out that there was no replacement to a POTTERY BARN $2000 chair. The closest I came was a $600 chair that I still only kinda liked.
So I decided to remake my chair I had and make it into my own PotteryBarn chair.
Here are Kayla and Hayden helping me get started in the process.
After many months of searching for the right material, hours of working, creating, starting over, trial and error...
And only costing about $125 ..........not $2000
TA DA!! Not totally perfect.. but good enough for me!
