A few weeks ago someone told me about Antique Alley, 25 miles of yard sales and small flea markets. Ummm, yes please! In a trailer full of junk a little desk lay dirty and alone, but all I saw were her pretty curved lines
I asked the guy how much, he said 10 bucks, I ran over and paid him before he changed him mind. She was pretty nasty and need 3 baths in TSP and a good vacuum to get rid of spiders, eek!

She’s Candy Pink by Rustoleum and the knobs are from Hobby Lobby {they were white and I used metallic silver to glam them up}. On the edges I used this…

Sorry for the bad pic, it was raining and dark so I had to use my flash. The top one is pearly white, I used the silver first and put the white on top. I also wanted to try to make a knock off Anthro mirror with this…

I followed directions from Mandi at Vintage Revivals and it was soooo easy!! { I’ll admit when using the acid I was SCARED, it was smoking from the bottle!} I had a hard time getting a good pic because of the sun coming in those windows next to it, but here it is.

I painted and glazed the frame and put hot pink zebra underneath. Love. Like a lot. I’m totally doing another one of these stat!

Oh and can we pretend that frame has a pretty pic of Miss M and I in the bluebonnets?? I had one printed out yesterday and for the life of me can’t find it anywhere! I hate when I do that, I’m sure as soon as I print out another one it will turn up
