genius!

i want to go buy this rocker, just to tear it apart and revamp it.

Now it’s like a wonderful piece of furniture! Incredible :)

This is so smart! What a great way to marry stylish home decor with a child’s toy.

Nice work! But I think I like the “during” version best.

Awesome!! So inspiring!!!

Love the fabric

Does anyone know the name of that Ikea fabric? I’ve been trying to find something like that to match a project, but I didn’t see it on the website. Thanks.

I’m wondering the same thing. I love that fabric too!

What a great idea!

I think they made the big head on the original rocker padded so the child doesn’t bang her face on a sharp corner if rocking vigorously. Looks much better “after” though!

Really great as far as workmanship goes, and modern design of course. But as a mom of real-life children, I’m not sure I get how that would be appealing to a child. It’s pretty on my computer screen, just seems a little inappropriate for reality. *shrug*

ok, well I just read more carefully and realized that the child outgrew the original version. I still don’t get it though. If it’s been outgrown why keep it around at all?!

jackie, i am a mother too and for me its a much nicer idea to reuse and recycle the items you already have. a lot of childrens toys are not even recyclable at all. its great to see someone taking the time to both create a visually stimulating piece of childrens furniture/toy and to think about not wasting materials already at hand. i know that my child would really adore this, he also really likes fabric and drapery though (like his mama). but also, if the child already likes to rock on the toy…i think that the child will really only be interested in the function of it?
