I got the inspiration for this gift from shiso mama--another mother who crafts to keep her sanity. You should check out her blog to see her version of the art table. Our table parts also came from Ikea, but we chose a smaller red table top to match the living room. I liked the idea of curved edges, as Anastasia tends to run without looking. This makes the paper rolling a bit more difficult, but she doesn't mind asking us for help with that.

ReplyDeletelove it! how did Jason rig the drawer?
ReplyDeletemandeep: I'm not sure if I ever replied to you directly on this... sorry! He used scrap pieces of wood (1 x 2s, I think) and made Ts. He then screwed the Ts upside down to the underpart of the table top, spacing them so that the drawers will fit perfectly in between for sliding out. Hope I explained that adequately.... If not, let me know and I'll take a picture.
ReplyDeleteit's beautiful! I love the red.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic idea! I lobe the paper roll storage underneath the table. The crayon holder is super cute too! Thanks for sharing - wonderful job on both! Hope you are enjoying your week. ~ Stephanie Lynn
