Today I got an order from a customer who had actually bought an 'off the shelf' rocking chair a couple of years back. The customer actually came back and asked if I would make a chair for his daughters 10 birthday, as she loves nothing more than to site in the chair and read a book.
First off all, I was quite suprised to hear of hte discipline of the young girl ( yes I know that is rather sterotypical) but I also have a beautiful daughter and little boy, so do find it quite odd to hear this!
Anyway, as it was a present for my customers daughter and also the fact she was a similar age ot my little girl, I offered to make the chair as a good will gesture on the understanding that I could also take some photos of the chair with his daughter to add ot my brochure and window front.
Natuarally the customer was very happy with my suggestion. I shall also be posting a pic of the chair once made to my new blog ( once I figure out how to upload it!), only joking :)
The choice of colour is sky pink, which is a very subtle colour and looks really good on oak wood. I will also be engraving her name on the back of the chair but have yet to decide if this will be coloured or left plain.
