kiddie furniture

Here’s some other pieces of little furniture that I’ve finally gotten around to working on.   

 

Table and chair before and after….

 

When my kids are too big for a little table and chair I’ll be sad.  It’s perfect for a little rainy day fun with Richard Scarry.  A cut and paste activity book I highly recommend, if you can find it.  For ages 4-8ish.

For a couple months the stool has sat on the porch, Henry has asked me about using it many times. Like every time he walked by it.  His Mom is a procrastinator!

 

I decoupaged the letters from craft paper, using a font from the computer as a template.  The sailboat is four pieces of craft paper.  

When you come for sun and fun

please do wash for number one.

With soap!

Recently I found (at Home Depot) Martha Stewarts new line of paints in small tester jars.  You can have them mixed in any color in three different finishes (semi gloss, eggshell, and flat).  They’re under three dollars and perfect for small projects.  There are some premixed colors with the paint chips, at our local Home Depot the mixable bases are with the techs behind the mixing counter.

premixed on the left and tinted base on the right.

PS they also sell Glidden paints this way, but they stink as in they don’t paint well as in you shouldn’t buy them, as in I did and went back later to buy the Martha stuff.
