Nursery Progress: Rocking Chair

As you can see in my nursery mood board here, I was planning on purchasing an eames rocker. After looking at our expenses on the room remodel, our budget began to lower. I searched day and night for the perfect rocker on craigslist and would find nothing but old wooden "country" rockers. I really wanted to get an upholstered one if I wasn't going to be able to purchase the eames one. I never realized how expensive the upholstered ones are, I mean seriously $500-900?! So after rethinking my situation and how much I love a before and after. I came across this in perfect condition wooden rocker on craigslist for $25. That price sounds so much better and it looks great now that it's green!
I made a pillow out of the same fabric as the crib bumpers to toss in the chair after I place it in the nursery. What do you think?
