Cradle and a Chair

Creative name for a post huh?  What can I say, I am tired!  We took a couple of antique pieces over to Reruns 4 Wee Ones recently.  First is a rocking chair we found at an estate sale.  Aside from some sanding to get the loose paint off, we did nothing other than wax this chair.




This cradle was hand made and aside from being old, you can tell it was made with love!




Dreamer

This kitchen was dropped off at Brocante.  We LOVE doing kitchens as our own design.  This little gem has been floating around in our heads for a while.  So here she is - Dreamer.






Miller Ann

Apparently we forgot to post about Miller Ann!  Where was my head - oh yeah, packing to leave for Christmas :-).  This little love is one that I will honestly keep on my favorites list.  We always say, this one is my new favorite, but, truly, this one will always remain in my top favorites list!!

Zen

I brought this fabric back from Korea and have been dying to use it!  It has a very asian feel, hence the name Zen.  Plus while working on the mad dash of kitchens we had to find some zen to keep from FREAKING OUT!  Ok, really though, it has been such a pleasure to work on all these Christmas presents!




The fridge will probably get a metal sheet in the doorway after the holidays.  It was on my radar then somehow completely dropped off.  Sigh. 



Forget Me Not

Yeah, there are no forget me nots in the fabric of this piece, but the blue, for some reason, really drew our eyes down to the bottom.  So, Forget Me Not it is!







Emory

We always tell people these kitchens are kid tested and we are serious!  Piper was determined to play with Miss Emory's kitchen while she was in her photo session yesterday.  This piece went to an adorable family that was leaving town.  They did Christmas early and I cannot wait to hear what their little one thinks!!




Love this sweet little spoon with a flower 



Side open door!!

Meal Time for Dolly

I originally bought this chair to refinish for my daughter.  She is a little young and with a move pending next summer I decided someone could probably enjoy it sooner and possibly as a Christmas gift.  It is pink underneath and where it is distressed that peaks through.  I just love the way it turned out and, honestly, almost didn't take it down to Brocante.  Buuuuut, I will find Miss P another chair to refinish when the time is more appropriate.  I just hope someone takes it home for the holidays :-).
