Update

Here is what we decided to do with the rocking chair. We were able to find a paint color called "soul chocolate" that is dark brown and has a tiny red tint to it which is what I like. We are so thankful for Ryan's Mom who has put so much work into it. She has it all painted and see the picture below!!! She is now going to distress it a little bit and it will be about finished. Thanks!!!

Stay tuned for pictures from Ryan's Birthday!!
