I've been working on this little corner of my bedroom for a while now. There used to be a big chair and ottoman here that I never used and I decided to make some changes. I had this old table that my dad made for me many years ago for my art room and it is well used. It has been moved from room to room for many years and I couldn't decided it's true purpose until now. Yes, it has heart cutouts on the side of the legs and I've tried to come up with ideas to cover those up, but have decided to leave well enough alone. The table was built with love and it's very special to me.
This will now become my sewing/quilting, all things yarn, and a corner to dream up new projects. Most of my really good yarn is in my art room, but these large skeins fit better in large baskets. I must confess that I have a trunk full of hand dyed yarns too. This corner will probably continue to evolve because I'm not sure that this is the most comfortable chair but for now it works. The biggest advantage to this corner is that I can look out the window onto my flower garden if spring ever truly arrives!
What a sweet, functional corner...

If you ever figure out what to do with those heart cutouts, let me know. I've passed up a shelf or two in thrift stores because of them, but I'm sure there's a way to bring them up to date. Meanwhile, the fact that yours is a labor of love - a father's love at that - I don't blame you for keeping your table just as it is.
I would not be able to do a thing with those hearts. Such a wonderful gift of love! This little corner you've created looks like a little slice of heaven, Catherine. I know lots of beautiful goodness will come from this spot! Well done. blessings ~ tanna
