Here's my second attempt at furniture - a fun little table and chairs for Zoe's second birthday. When I started looking around for ideas for this project, I came across a fantastic set from Left Hand Make. It was georgous, and really inspired me to think carefully about the design and try to come up with a beautiful, functional, and timeless design. It's something we all need to remember. Objects can be art. It takes more time and energy (or money if it was someone elses's time and energy), but the end result is so much more satisfying than something that was mass produced by a machine.I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out, and Z loves working at it. Another bonus was that I was able to use some scrap OSB for the sides and leftover red paint, so the only think I had to purchase was the birch for the seats and table top. The pocket on this side of the table is working out really well for books and art supplies, and there is a paper roll and tear bar mounted on the other side that feeds right onto the table top.
