I got lots of good stuff at the Alameda Flea Market this month. Including this tiny red chair that fits nicely in Moses’ little space. When I get around to it I’ll sand, prime, and paint it. But until then I like that it is rough around the edges.

Jordan,
Super cute stuff but be sure to run to Home Depot and get lead kit for the truck as we were given a friends childhood truck and it was full of lead (the red paint often is)

just curious, but, do you notice that you find more neat things the earlier you go to the Alameda flea? {my husband and i were thinking about going, but weren’t sure if we should go at 6am, 7:30am, or 9am.}

Oh, I love it! I passed up a child’s rocking chair at the DI a couple of weeks ago and am kind of crying about it.

Just wondering if you could please let me know where the super cute rug came from. The space is adorable. Thanks so much!

The rug is from Posh Tots–a weird little web site. But we’ve been happy with the rug.

We had a little chair in my daughter’s room. I was worried about the lead thing so I hung it on a couple of hooks on the wall and put a few vintage books on it.
Excellent find. I have literally 8 tiny chairs in my house. It’s an illness, especially now that I have a 7 and 9 year olds.

So adorable! I think it is so important for kids to have a chair their size!

I love it the way it looks now!
When I was about 2 or 3, I had a little white chair, this brought back some memories of my childhood

I was also going to comment on the lead paint issue. You can buy little testers at hardware stores, about 8 bucks that you rub on the questionable surface and it will turn pink if lead is detected. My daughter had lead poisioning last year, so please be careful. 🙂

I wish you could leave this darling chair just as it is! I guess lead is a concern, but a fresh paint of coat would take away all that well-earned character! Good find!
