Check it out! I went to Goodwill the other day and scored this awesome rocking chair. Sorry I don't have a great picture of the top. It has a rocking horse on it. I payed $6.99 for it. This chair was made by Storkline which was a Chicago company. From what I understand they stopped making such chairs in the mid 1950s. Before doing a bit of research I was considering painting it but now it seems like a bad idea. since it is in such good original condition. Would you paint it? If so, what color?
The best part of the chair for Calder is that it has an old music box in the back so when you rock it plays music. And it still works! I'm not a big antiques person but I feel like I stumbled on something cool. I certainly wouldn't have bought it if Calder wasn't totally in love with it.

I love Goodwill. What a great find! I'd probably be inclined to paint it, maybe a dark blue or a white. But then I probably wouldn't actually end up painting it since it's so old and in great condition!
I wouldn't paint it. You never know if it might be worth something some day. :)
I wouldn't paint it either. But if I did it would be peacock blue.
And I love the halloween costume. It totally cracked me up.
I love Calder's Halloween costume! You're so creative. I can't believe that chair still looks so good. I love it when I find stuff like that.
I can't decide which I like better...the rocking chair, or Calder's rocking clothes. He is such a cool kid! I love that outfit!
Thanks Dianna! I love the outfit too. I found that at Goodwill at the same time I found the rocking chair. That was a good day!
