Vintage Wood Rocking Horse Makeover

Debbie, This is just gorgeous! I want a 1980s rocking horse now!!!!!

I love what you did with the horse! He looks a lot like the more expensive ones! Great job!

No they sure don't have any thing on you anymore. I want one, too that doesn't cost a fortune. Great makeover and vision.

I love, love your little rocking horse! I must admit, I might have walked right by that 80s horse without giving her a second look - shame on me!!

Girl...you have knocked it out of the park! Love your smart, thrifty t and creative makeover.This rocking horse is just adorable!

I've seen many a horse with hearts on them. LOL Great repurpose Debbie, love what you did with it!

Oh how beautiful Debbie! I love the horse and how you arranged it with the basket on the wall. Amazing!!!

Love the rocking horse and her makeover! I, too, wanted one and found two for a reasonable price. The small one is done and now I'm working on the big one. Thanks for the inspiration!

Super score!
She was just waiting to be found by someone like you!
So pretty now :)

I'm in love! It's always so astounding what a little paint can transform. Blended with your talent, the sky's the limit. Such a gorgeous project!

wow! I will never look at those little horses the same, it's really great!

LOVE LOVE LOVE! Like you, I've been keeping my eyes peeled for a rocking horse ever since seeing Marian's at Miss Mustard Seed. How lucky you found one and I love how you decorated it for the holidays! Pinning to share :)

whoo hoo, Miss Debbie! Way to have some vision!!

You did an awesome job...I have to comment on your question, What were they thinking in the 1970's? Girl, I hate to break it to you, but in 40 years, the next generation of crafters will be wondering, What is with all this repurposed junk (which I love, collect and use, by the way...)
I am in my 60s and I grew up with mid century modern and didn't particularly care for it. Now, I love it and wish to lay my hands on any and everything. I guess my point is, styles and likes change. What I love about the internet is that we can share ideas. Years ago, in the 90s, I had a deer skull I found on a walk in the woods on my bathroom walls, my grandmother's washboard hanging there too, which she thought was odd as all get out, and old advertising signs.
Style and imagination truly come within the creative souls of each of us. I know you didn't mean it in a cruel way, but remember, generations will wonder what the heck YOU were thinking. :-) First time to your site by the way and I'll be back!

Love the transformation! I think I might just cut out my own horse though since I do woodworking anyway! : )

Oh I love it. I did something very similar to a smaller one because I did not feel right spending those big bucks. Fabulous transformation

How sweet! I have fallen in love with it!!! I'm an avid DIYer and always try to be busy with some new projects. Was searching for a unique idea to start. The Vintage Wood Rocking Horse made me stop and crazy to make it asap! In a hurry to start. Wish me good luck! :)
