The Yellow Chair

Guest blogger: Sparky McManus.

Recently a friend gave us a small, square coffee table. It was the perfect height for Bee to use as an outdoor lunch counter. Except she had no chair to fit it. I originally thought Ikea, but I would rather spend the weekend in jail than return to that house of madness. Also, I didn't want to spend $20 on a crappy kid's chair. I looked about and discovered a bunch of warped 1x2's that I used to use as braces for my paintings. The rest was just the building of the chair. Very little thought went into the coloring as there was only one logically choice. This is a chair for Bee we're talking about here.
So now when she's back from Seattle, we can lunch outdoors using what will hopefully become her new, favorite chair. Lunching al fresco is a big advantage in that when the feeding is over, I just bust out the push broom and turn the dog loose. Spring is looking brighter already.
