Table and Chairs

Norah has taken over the entire house. Granted, it is a small house, but damn. She's got a lot of stuff. In an effort to get our living room back, I decided to convert the sun room to a play room. And any good play room has a kid-sized table and chairs.

I found a simple set at IKEA on the cheap. BVZ and I put it together one night and didn't kill each other.
Norah absolutely loves it, but I thought it was a little too plain for a girl with her kind of personality. Then I remembered that BabyKaboom made a plain table into something completely awesome with a coat of paint and some decals. I spent about 4 hours one night (thank you insomnia!) picking out the perfect decals and figured I would just pick up a can of paint at the hardware store up the street. But of course, the hardware store up the street only sells death paint from China. Fortunately there is this remarkable stuff called Milk Paint. It is non-toxic, environmentally friendly, non-odorous, and completely safe even if licked by a precocious 14-month old. Unfortunately, it made my on-the-cheap table not quite so cheap anymore. But, she won't grow a second head, and that's what is important--right?

So, check out the final product. I am thrilled with how it turned out.


Check out the bottom of the table legs. That would be the paper I layed down to protect the floor that is now permanently stuck. Any ideas how to get it off?
