Mini Wicker Chair

pink chair

Last weekend, when the boys were out of town, Silas, Finley, and I managed to leave the house early and be some of the first ones at an estate sale. I scored lots of fun stuff, but my favorite was this $4 children's wicker chair.

I spotted it as soon as we walked up and told the people I was setting it aside to buy it. I'm glad I did because as we were looking around several people wanted it.

Isn't it amazing what a little spray paint can do? I did one layer of primer and one layer of pink gloss paint.

I whipped up the cushion and tiny pillow yesterday during nap time and project number two for Finley's room= done!

Oh, and I had two VERY willing models. Silas was, literally, crying and screaming as I pulled him away to take pictures of the chair by itself. Judah wasn't too happy himself. They're used to be the focus of my photos!

  4. That is so, so cute! And those family walks are great, aren't they? We've been thinking about family bike rides, but Ava & I need to get a bike first!

    And yes, I'd love to meet up when you're down this way. San Ramon is only 20 minutes away! Let me know when you'll be down. That would be fun!
