I save chairs.

No really I do. I have a habit of feeling sorry for furniture in second hand shops as evidenced by our mismatched collection of furniture . Recently on one of my endless journeys around the Adelaide Hills looking for teacups, I stumbled across this little guy.

It’s legs had been cut down so it was quite short, it’s paint was falling off and it was all alone at the back of the shed. I overheard someone mention that it would be alright for kindling! So of course I had to take it home.

Once home I cleaned it off, dug out my trusty white paint and brush and got to work.

(Excuse the mass of Autumn leaves! The liquid amber tree sheds them as quickly as I rake them!)

And now it’s inside under the loft window and housing one of my gorgeous rabbits from Dragon House of Yuen. And next to the calendar I found in a stash of my Grandma’s treasures! It’s from the 70′s and has oh so cute drawings of colourful girls.

It’s tricky using colours inside such a dark house (hence why I stick with white paint usually) but I have more exciting plans for my next piece so stay tuned!
