Memories.... this is my desk chair from my childhood. When my family moved from Belgium to Southern California my parents bought me my first bedroom set. Prior to this my older sister and I shared a room so I didn't need one. But when we arrived to our new home we each got our own room. This is where my love for yellow entered my life. My bedroom set which consisted of a desk, chair and dresser was painted "yellow". I can't even tell you how much I loved it. Before I picked up my first paint brush, my Dad painted my room yellow for me. I wanted it to match my furniture.... oh the memories I have of my yellow room with my yellow furniture.
The yellow room has long been gone but I am so happy that I brought along my childhood pieces into my marriage.

My chair has been passed to my oldest. It is now her childhood chair. I have kept it in it's original condition all this time but knew it was time to make it hers. I was ready to give it a makeover.



I must be overtired from having sick children, because I became so sentimentally silly over this! I had to leave behind a memory of the yellow. I had my daughter come take a look while I was painting and I told her that one day when she removes the chair cushion she will see "my favorite yellow"!
