Lanelle finally reached breaking point with the constant “mess” / “art” on our breakfast table and so we decided that Cezanne needed another place to “make art”. Our plan started really small, with just a little side table / coffee table at which she could stand and make her “mess-terpieces”. We looked online at our local IKEA and found a few pieces that would work and then set off to procure the necessary elements to solve the problem. Well for those of you familiar with IKEA they have lots or really cheap furniture and we found bigger and better solutions as we made our way through the maze. Finally we settled on a full sized dining room table which cost the same as the coffee table we had originally decided on, this was bigger than we wanted, but also gave Cezanne enough space for everything…
