I thrifted this little beauty with my sis and mom last week. I pretty much fell in love instantly. Shena and I spotted it immediately. I practically ran to it and hugged it. The yellow paint was so cute and chippy. The only issue was the dingy fabric. I actually liked the original fabric but it was really gross so it had to go.
After a good scrub down and some pretty new fabric, aka, old curtains, this little guy shined up SO CUTE! I mean, I didn't even have to paint it:)
Originally I wanted to keep it, but my monkey of a 19 month old took a head dive off of it leaving a big old goose egg on her forehead. At that point I decided it would be better off in a home with an older... slightly less top heavy kiddo. Not that she won't find something else to climb up on. I basically would have to live in a completely padded house to keep that kid out of trouble. I guess that would classify as an insane asylum so really that would be fitting in our house.
Happy Wednesday everyone!
Love the chippy finish, and the new fabric. Great piece.
