About a year ago I started painting children's furniture, and it has been such a fun thing to add to my repertoire!
The first piece I painted was this little chair for my "Aunt" Mel, my mother's dear friend for many years.
She wanted a special chair for her little grand daughter Jo to sit in while she was at her house in New Orleans. It's bright and cheerful to capture the feeling of the city itself, and fun and whimsical like Jo herself.
Along the same theme of painting furniture for little girls...
I wanted a table & chair set for my own daughters, Maddie & Charlotte.
I wanted them to have a place to sit and color, or eat a snack in the family room of our home.
My mother was gracious enough to give me a family set that had been around for years, and that I have used as a child. It was stained a dark wood, so my mom sanded the pieces down for me and I painted them white, then painted them as directed by my older daughter, who loves all things PINK. They came out beautifully.
Love them!!!
