The glider….it’s such a key element in any nursery. It’s where you soothe your newborn. It’s where you sit for those midnight feedings. And later it will be where you snuggle and read together. I can definitely understand the strong desire to have a glider in a nursery! But new gliders come in straight forward colors and old gliders come with stains. Neither of those options is likely to be part of your dream room. Not to fear! Recovering a glider is a time consuming but not difficult task. Here are 7 tutorials to help you create the glider of your dreams.
