Converting an arm chair into a rocking chair experiment

I have had this AWESOME yellow chair since I was a little girl and I love it! It is the kind of chair you just sink into and never want to get out of. I have decided to make it my nursery chair. However, I really wanted a rocking chair, so thus the experiment. 


I am going to try to turn this (free):


Into this (from Pottery Barn Kids for $900!!!!)



Looks pretty simple right? I just need to go ask the experts at Home Depot how to add that to the bottom.

Any suggestions are welcomed :) We will let you know how it goes...hopefully well!

  2. Hi Stephanie! Oh did we ever try...and oh did we ever fail! We couldn't get it to sit right and be perfectly even. So, here is the blog post about what we ended up doing! http://www.megmadedesigns.com/2012/01/god-can-even-use-salvation-army-to.html

    Let me know if you figure out how to make it work! Good luck :)
