Hand Painted Child's Chair

I hand painted this chair...
And you can see it in this post here, but I had picked up another chair at a garage sale almost just like it.
Before
I decided it was time to paint this second one. I had an idea in mind to paint some kind of bird and make it look rustic and free-form, so I basically let my mind run free and this is the result.

Back, a bit of playfulness

Front, a bit of subway art

Seat, a bit of cuteness

I then decided to embellish it by making a matching pillow to hang from the open back.

    I think it's absolutely adorable and someone is going to grab it right up!

    I love the first chair too.

    The hanging cushion was the frosting on the cake! I could see a whole nursery with this sweet birdie theme!
