A few weeks ago I was commissioned to paint this rocking chair for a friend who is expecting a little girl. I immediately knew that the lines of this chair would be perfect for chalk paint and some distressing. The chair had a lacquered shiny finish, so I just wiped it down and began painting.

I finished this before we received our shipment of CeCe Caldwell's Paints, so I used ASCP in Old White and finished it with a clear wax. I gave it a little bit of extra distressing on the arms, and places that would get more wear. This rocker is super comfortable, but would be adorable with a seat cushion and patterned pillow. Don't you think?
