My mom and I tackled the task of restoring vintage doll furniture. It was an antique set that included a baby doll cradle and highchair. I knew my girls would enjoy using them for their baby dolls.

Bringing new life to these antique pieces was a labor of love. It was also a really sweet time for making memories.
