Creepy Vintage Cat & A Rocking Chair Makeover

I picked up this old concrete kitty at an antique shop about a month ago.
It's all chippy and kind of creepy looking.
Great for Halloween.


This old rocking chair belonged to my mother.
She bought it when I was born and passed it on to me when my daughter was born.
It was an ugly red with gold cushions.
I had thought about donating it to Goodwill, but changed my mind and gave it a fresh coat of paint and made some new cushions and a slip cover for it.

I recycled some old muslin drapes for the slipcover and made a pillow from an antique egg mash bag.

Now it's good as new.

See ya soon.
