How to ROCK Coral



I had refinished furniture in years so I was a little nervous about taking this on, but I'm so happy I did! I'm really excited about how it came out for the nursery. I knew I wanted to something vintage-looking and shabby cheek for the room and since I'm keep most of the colors in the room to gray and white I thought a pop of color was in order. When I came across the 2015 Sherwin Williams Color of the Year I knew it was exactly what I was looking for. Read more about Coral Reef here.

I purchased a used rocker for about $40 and got to work. Below are some progress pictures. It took some time between processes to let each stain and paint job dry. It definitely takes some patience! Enjoy and feel free to leave comments below. 

Original State - Boring!

First white stain. I did about 2 coats with an extra coat on the back part of the chair.


Almost done! Added one more white coat and then sanded parts to give it the "worn" look.
