This little reading corner will have to be disrupted soon to make way for the Christmas Tree
which will go up in about a week - ahh!
The rocking chair was passed down from my mother or was it nan?
I fed and rocked my two baby boys on it.
The lovely map table was a derelict piece of junk on the side of the road a couple of months ago
with a crumbling chipboard top. I really loved the cane frame and the little rusty castors for shoes and wonder what it was used for in it's past life. I tossed the remnants of the top and passed it on to my dad as a project to work on with my boys {I think Dad did most of the work!}.
Dad is my Go To Guy when I need help with anything serious although, especially being a single parent I feel pretty good at doing quite a few things on my own {and by that I mean my 14 yr old helps me quite a bit, strong points being anything electric or digital or from ikea}. After building a new table top he suggested decoupaging the surface with old maps and I think it now looks marvellous!
So between my maps infront of me and my bookcase behind me, I can go anywhere!
I am thinking of painting the cane white - thoughts?

I think it would look great painted white (when you have time to do it that is)
