There is definitely a market for chic looking kids toys nowadays.
If you have the money you can get some outstandingly cool stuff --- like
those ultra cool people do, whose modern homes get featured in magazines and their kids' stuff looks just as mesmerizing as their adult stuff.
I can drool over those things all day.
But I'm on a budget.
So our kid things are often kindly handed down to us. (Thank you Carol!)
We were given this great kid-sized rocking chair which J just adores ---
She heads to it as soon as she wakes up in the morning and after a good sit roams around only to return and climb and perch again.
I was so excited to get this chair because J had been really loving a kid-sized rocker that Blake had loved as a kid that was at his grandparents' home in North Dakota. And I got to wishing with all my mommy heart that we could find one of our own for her to enjoy at home. And then lo and behold we were given one! God is so good!
Well my great aunt, whom my mom attributes much of my craftiness to, told me when we got this chair, "You know, they make spray paint for plastic now. You could paint this."
That's all I needed to hear.
My mind was off and running! I was going to make over this toy rocker.
What color? Colors?? How should I do it? A Pattern?
Hmmm...
