Current Bear Hugs Chair
Here is the current chair design. Once I've made all the changes I will post new images.
I will also be sure to give an overview of the process(es) I used to complete the chair.
I look forward to the task at hand!

The Bear Hugs Chair
William's new chair will require revisions to make it more personal.
The pink areas of the chair will be changed to yellow ochre. The quilted squares on the back of the chair will be modified to state his name and birth date, as well, I'm considering adding a small portrait of the baby. I think I will also play up the bear paw elements on the front and back posts of the chair to give a more playful appearance... but, not with as much contrast... more subtle. I think once the chair has been modified it will be perfect for William!
The Challenge:
Since this chair has already been sealed with varathane, I am not 100% sure how the changes I make will adhere. I'm considering giving the areas a light sanding, making the changes and then reapplying the varathane coating. I hope the acrylic paint will stick and not simply flake or peel away.
If you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them!

Website Update
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Just a quick note to let you know that I have made a few updates to my website. The last 2 floor mat images, Sea Turtle & Blue Crab, were added, as well, the Bear Hugs kids' rocking chair is no longer for sale. A little boy, William, is the proud new owner!
I wish you all the best in 2012!
