While the pink and purple were a cute color combination,
the dirt and crayon scribbles had to go.
I cleaned off the rocking horse before giving it a good sanding.
I cleaned it again to make sure it was free from the dust from sanding it
and to make sure all of the crayon marks were removed.
Then I primed it with white spray primer by Rustoleum
and painted it in Blossom White by Rustoleum.
Once the rocking horse was dry,
I hand sanded the edges to allow some of the pink and purple to show through.
I also hand waxed the rocking horse with a furniture wax
to help protect it before adding a lavender wreath around her neck.
The wreath is made from a few pieces of faux lavender that I had
leftover from making this wreath.

Oo! I just recently redid a rocking very similar to yours. It is sitting on my entry table for now. I think they are so cute. And someday, I'll have grandchildren. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI think they are adorable too, especially when they are used as decor pieces :) I'm sure your future grandchildren will love it.
DeleteSuch a sweet little rocking horse. It is so pretty now! I love the lavender too. Hope you are well, Adina.

Thank you Sherri! Hope you are well too :)
DeleteI love the rocking horse! I think it would look great by a chair or sofa with a nice plank sitting on top of it!

Hmm it looks like your site ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog writer but I'm still new to everything. Do you have any suggestions for novice blog writers? I'd genuinely appreciate it.
