I couldn’t believe when my husband told me he found his old handmade furniture his father made for him. I thought it was going to look cheesy, but I was pleasantly surprised. The handmade furniture was child-size and it was lovely. I told him I couldn’t wait to redo the handmade furniture so our daughter could get some use out it. There was a table with four matching chairs. His father had also built a matching buffet and a small coffee table. I didn’t know his father was a woodworking, which completely baffled me. Had I known his father was an accomplished furniture maker, I would have had him build a rocking for me. I had wanted one for quite some time. I once hinted that I would love a wooden rocking chair when I was pregnant with our daughter, but I never got one. I now had wooden rocking chair, but it was a child-size wooden rocking chair. When our daughter got home from pre-school, we had the handmade furniture set up in the spare room. The room was much bigger than the one she had been sleeping in. We left her bedroom in her room, but took her child’s kitchen into the other room and set up the handmade furniture. She cried when she thought her kitchen was stolen, but we couldn’t keep her out of her own little apartment, which is what she called her new sitting room. We often had tea in her sitting room and enjoyed pretending while sitting around on her wood table and chairs. The handmade child-size furniture was a wonderful birthday present for our daughter.
