DIY Yoga Ball Desk Chair

I recently found a dining table from the 1920's to use an office desk.  Let me tell you it is pretty sweet and I'll share it with you soon.  The problem is that the desk it is replacing has adjustable legs so I was able to keep it pretty low.   I was using the big blue yoga ball, the largest one you can get, but it is still not high enough for a traditional desk, let alone a dining table.  I'm 5'2" with a short torso so I'm rather vertically challenged, especially when sitting.  (I sit on a pillow to drive our full size van).  I researched online for yoga ball chairs, but none of them are height adjustable.  They cost a pretty penny as well.  Cue the hardware store...  Pictured above you see a wooden cross with wheels under a wooden pot, both from Home Depot.  My smaller green yoga ball puts me at the perfect height.  On top I have a lambs wool pelt I used for my kids' carseats when they were babies.  It now keeps my tooshie happy.

So voila!  A yoga ball desk chair you can put together yourself!

P.S.  Do you heart my card catalog behind the chair?  Check it out. Linking to these parties:

China Hutch ~ Furniture Evolution

One of my favorite pieces I've refinished is a hundred dollar china cabinet from a thrift store in Las Vegas.

Small Buffet Cabinet/ Oversized Nightstand

I'm always on the look out for furniture that's asking for a make-over. When I was pregnant with my daughter, I found this piece at a local thrift store and imagined that it could look sweet painted white for her room. I was not in need of a changing table since I had a dresser in her closet for this purpose, so there were no prerequisites for height or width and when I came across this unusual buffet cabinet I decided it had to me mine. It is now used as an over sized night stand in my bedroom and I love it.
