DIY TIME
First, it's looking better already and it's only been sanded, don't you think?
Then, the sunbleached stain we used on our master bedroom floors (head to blog post here) got me hooked and I decided to give a beachy feel to this piece.
Last, here it is, all gussied up and ready for some waves. It has sold from my online shop, but there is always more goodness on the way.
However, this project alone didn't quite quench the need for sand between my toes, so I took it up another level.
MORE REPURPOSING
Remember my free vintage Morris rocker? I know several of you told me to repair it and make it come back to life, but it was badly damaged and would have taken a lot of reconstruction to get it going. So...it was time to make use of the parts.
Not only during Christmas, did I put the springs to use, but also, it was the arms turn.
Next, with a little bit of sanding and some added dimension and hand painting, we have whimsy.
Who knew those arms turn into this? A whale of a sign, don't you think?
These have sold from my online shop, but there's always more goodness to be found. Check it out!

WHAT NEXT
With that in mind, I have a question as what I'll do with the rest of the rocker. Become a follower to see!
What would you do with the back, spindles, rockers, and base? Likewise, you can see the back repurposed to my garden shed HERE, and the metal hardware and base into a play table over HERE.
