It's fun to add a touch of whimsy to [otherwise] serious spaces, don't you think?

My dad restored this little gem - he even fixed the bell!
Then, my parents lovingly gifted it to Grayson for Christmas.
And since I have no intention of throwing out my back anytime soon, I wanted to keep it in a central place to avoid lifting it so often.
One day, I just stuck it under my entryway table and...
...I didn't hate it kind of liked it!
There it shall stay (when the kids aren't riding in it).
I also added a little Spring to the entryway - a new urn and garden greenery from Hobby Lobby.
The urn is a perfect match to my Goodwill candlesticks with the beveled glass.
{I still can't believe no one else snatched those up before me! Don't you love it when things "wait" for you?}
Remember, the table used to look like this:
Of course, things never last for long around here.
"Goldie" got moved to the dinner table.
You might remember seeing it in my previous post.
As for the car...
As for the car...
...Perhaps it drives around at night and pulls back under the table just before we awake. ;) Aaaaaand, I just gave myself nightmares.
Thanks for stopping by! Honk if you're handy!

That is freakin' cool! Congrats to your dad for restoring it! And best not to think of that car driving itself. Nightmares would be in store for me too!
