Look at this pretty little thing! I kind of wondered how old it is. It doesn't
appear to be very old but I've never seen anything like it before.
I decided to look for a piece at the local thrift shop. Found this and
actually left the store without it. But after some longing to find the piece I
so badly wanted I went back and got it.
It will go under the window in my daughters room. I plan to make a seat for the top.
She was with me when I found it and I could tell she just didn't
have the vision I have for seeing what it could be. haha
I thought I'd share. I love to take something not so pretty and make something wonderful
from it.
It is a child's chest. I loved the chess/checkers game top.
I had started to sand it already when I decided to take some photos.
Caitlin's room has Teal, Black and White in it. She was very particular
when she chose the colors. So I decided this would look great
black with a nice white/teal seat. I plan to buy some fabric and foam to make the seat with.
I think Caitlin was shocked when she saw it. She wasn't impressed when I bought it.
haha I will share more pics when I get the materials for the seat.
I can't wait!
Ooh, that is looking good! I can't wait to see it finished and you are giving Caitlin some good training. :-)
ReplyDeleteThankS Kelly! I love creating things! ha I know you do too! It's fun to pass that love on to your children. She is very creative as well!
ReplyDeleteI love it! I share your passion for searching and creating. I can walk through a thrift store, craft store for hours and just gather ideas from what is around me and how I can use them. I love to create my kiddos birthday cakes this way. Let me just go look and see what I can come up with! Caitlyn will love having the seat/chest! It will be something she can pass on and have a wonderful tale to pass on with it!
