Getting started starting a business

So I have decided to try my hands at starting a business.  Nothing big, but hopefully something successful.  I enjoy making children's chairs and decided to test the market.  I came up with the name Lily Lee's Child.  Lily was my grandmother and Lee Lee was my aunt who took a major role in raising me and my sisters.  Child, is me and all of the children who will sit and listen to stories told by their elders, watch tv and fall asleep in these chairs.

I created a Etsy shop called Lilyleeschild.  Please wander over to it and check out my store.

Here's a quick update.  I decided that my grand daughter's chair need bigger legs and a matching cute as a button ottoman.  Here is the final finished piece.  Whata ya think?

Last week I started working on a wingback chair for my grandbaby Milani.  A month ago I had made a chair for my house when she is by watching her shows.

Now I needed to make a chair for her house.  Since her mother's decor is more girly, I decided to venture out and make a wingback chair.  After a lot of cutting and re-cutting, I got the frame exactly how I wanted it.

All that was left next was choosing a vibrant girly pattern to match her mother's living room and upholstering the chair.  The front legs of the chair I actually made from candlestick holder from Hobby Lobby.  Milani is in love with this chair, but not as much as her mother.

Milani's Kitchen

I wanted to make my grand daughter a play kitchen for Christmas. After many hours on Pinterest, I had decided I was going to change a wood media center into a play kitchen. I changed my mind when I stood at many thirft stores starring at these huge 1990's media centers, thinking....how am I going to get that into my Subaru Outback. I then decided that maybe I will make one from scratch. I began researching the best way to go about this, when one day at the thirft store I saw this.

After some elbow grease cleaning and some design creativity, the finish set was better than what I had imagined.  The best part of it all is that Milani loved it!  Score for grandma!

Vintage Dresser Redo - Nautical Inspired

I found this cute vintage dresser.  It was in fairly good shape but was speaking a nautical design to me.  I sanded, primed and painted and came out with this peaceful scene.  Great for a nursery or entry way.

So getting creative on this composite deck decorating, I found many great sites about pallet furniture.  I decided to try my hands at making a couch.  This couch I made from two pallets.  The cushion form I upholstered and I made the matching pillows.

So last year a friend of ours built a composite deck onto our house.  I had all kinds of ideas of what and how I wanted to decorate it for the ultimate oasis.  The picture below is common to the set I wanted at a cost of about 1200.00...the hubby said no.  So it was time to get creative....
