Reclaimed Game Table From Rocking Chair

There's nothing like having a stash of junk to create with, right? I've had the opportunity to take a busted up anitque Morris rocking chair and turn it into all sorts of new treasures. My latest creation is making use of the base. From the minute I saw it, I saw an animal. With some reclaimed furniture parts, baby crib parts, and more of that rocking chair, I've created a versatile game table. Perfect for chess, checkers, Legos, remotes...you name it! Come see how by clicking the link.

After two years of waiting for the right time, this sad rocking chair base now has a new purpose as a chess / checkers game table...AND...

...flips to be a Lego table with storage. How functional and fun is that?!

This tired frame is not much to look at right off, but I see an animal lurking in there...do you?

With some elbow grease and a DIY attitude, we were able to make modifications and improve the structure to make it suitable for use.

These cast iron parts that came off the back rest of the chair would be a perfect whimsical addition to this project.

A horse that was meant to be, and all made from with a reclaimed barn wood head, baby crib parts, broken furniture parts, and the cast iron rocking chair parts for a mane. Nothing goes to waste around here!
