We attended an auction last week and came home with a few lovely vintage children's things including a doll bed and wardobe. The bed has it's original blue paint and several beautiful little pink roses on it. I made a "mattress" and matching pillow which I think came out very sweet.
We also got a doll or teddy sized deckchair. Although not a vintage item I could see it's potential! I removed the modern striped fabric and used it as a template to make another "sling" out of a pretty floral fabric. I know...my table is in a state!
I chose to paint the frame a spring green which I wasn't completely sure would look nice with the fabric I chose but I was really happy with the outcome. Re-attaching the fabric seat was not an easy job as the dowels were so small but I got there in the end. I can just see a teddy sunbathing this summer in this chair.
These items will be listed on Vintage Lifestyle shortly, so if you would like a special pressie for a special little one, stop by and see what we have in our Nursery section.
Before I go, I want to share a photo of a visitor we had in our front garden awhile ago. Isn't he lovely?
Bye for now...
