Rocking the day away

Meet the newest addition to my day.  
She started off in rough shape, but a little lovin' and she might just be my favorite piece of furniture.  
I can see a peaceful future for us, gently rocking away our morning quiet times together.  


Here she is after a few repairs, a little sanding, and a new upholstery job...



Don't be fooled by the serene look of these pictures though.  I'm sitting in her right now, while two little boys are right outside that window shouting orders at each other.  They are busy with the work of taking apart toys and using "spare parts" to invent a hay baler.  Nothing quiet about it!


On another fun note- Kai and I went thrifting this week and picked up these tin nesting containers.  On a whim I checked online to see what they were.  
I couldn't tell if they were new or old, they are in such great shape.  
Turned out they are vintage, and sell for 20 times what we bought them for... say Whaaaaat?  
I love treasure hunting!
