      Totally adorable, Allison! Sorry we didn't quite get together before you left Washington. Hope you are feeling well and getting settled in. I'm sure your mom is missing you!

      So cute! My kids each have small rocking chairs from when they were toddlers. Maybe I'll spray paint them for their kids when the time comes.

      Oh my goodness. What an adorable... I mean awful little chair. I think you should send it to me so I can get rid of it for you.... Bleh!

      Actually, I'm overcome with jealousy. I love it!!!! Also, I had those sheets when I was a kid. Those exact ones. Crazy.

      Are you spray painting out in the cold Cleveland temps? If so, I need to get outside to do my headboard!

      How lovely! We have an old children's chair that's been stained a horrible colour, I hadn't even thought of painting it such a fun colour to liven it up.

      It's shameful how adorable you can make those garage sale chairs look! I love the "naughty chair" you painted blue too! Glad you're getting settled just in time ;) Take care and we'll be waiting for the news!
