Re-Purposed Rocking Chair

My daughter painted this little rocking chair years ago and was planning on getting rid of it. I couldn't stand the thought, so it's been in my garage for a while. The legs kept falling off, but I found a way to use it without the legs.

My custom bed is four feet off the floor, so I don't have a convenient place for journals, alarm clock, remote, etc. But now I do! All I need is a small reading lamp, and it'll be perfect.

The following is another picture a little further away where you can see what's under my bed. My dad built the bed and also mounted the rocking chair securely on the wall. And he's always helped with all  of my crazy projects requiring some kind of engineering skill and power tools. Best. Dad. Ever.

I haven't fallen off the bed yet! I love it, and it's really added storage space to my small bedroom/ working space.
