Eames Rocker

The Eames Rocker finally shipped from Design Within Reach. I guess the Aqua Sky color is so popular that it took more than three months to receive the chair. It is intended for the little girls' room and my 2-year old just loves it. Loves it so much that she does not like to let her big sister sit in "her" chair! 

The Eames Rocker

My 2-year old will finally get her own room once we move. It will be quite an adjustment for her and such a relief for us (she's still in a crib in our bedroom). She will inherit a bed from her big sister, and most of the other furniture in her room will be hand-me-downs from big sis and perhaps some refinished pieces from elsewhere in our apartment (I am planning to paint a 1950's small china cabinet white and putting it in her room). The only new piece in her room will be the wonderfully retro cute Eames molded rocker in new (original) Aqua Sky color. We purchased the rocker yesterday from Design Within Reach and the lead time for the aqua sky color is 12 weeks! The white rocker (pictured below) would have been in stock, but I think the aqua sky will be a nice punch of color in her otherwise white and pale pink room. The walls will be Behr's Powdered Blush pink, the bed and all other furniture is white.
