Glider Makeover

We were lucky enough to inherit a very nice glider and a comfy gliding ottoman, separately, so that the two didn't match.  The glider was a light denim--a tad frumpy, but liveable... and the ottoman was beige in a fuzzy velour-type fabric.  Nothing screams hip, young mom like light denim and fuzzy velour.

Before

 

I'm kicking myself for not getting a picture of the ottoman.  It bugged me so much that it mismatched that I purposely left it out of all my pictures and then forgot to take a formal "before" picture. oops... but it was fuzzy and beige... a little dingy... had a Dora band-aid on it from its previous owner.  You get the idea.

Well, hip, young mom is still questionable, but one thing is for sure, I have a VERY cool new glider and matching ottoman!  This project had been on my to-do list for over five months, and I finally tackled it this weekend while visiting my parents!  (nothing to do + doting grandma to free up hands = productivity)

After

 There are pockets on both sides... for, you know, all your glider essentials.

  

Caedmon seems to like it, too! ... though he hasn't been scratching at this glider arm.  :(

 

I think it fits in nicely with the rest of the nursery, wouldn't you say?
