A little crappy desk

First I want to thank you guys SO much for all your advice! Obviously I KNOW that my child is not the only wild child, but sometimes it's nice to actually HEAR that you are not alone.  People need to bitch about their kids more, it makes others feel better :)  I did buy Happiest Toddler on the Block and even after just a little bit of reading I feel like maybe I just don't understand my toddler enough.  If you have read the book then you will understand when I say I think the metaphor of toddlers being like cavemen is pretty much dead on.  They are NOT little adults, which is how I was sorta looking at her.

Anyways!  I happened across this crappy little desk for 20 bucks.

{Before}

Nothing special just a blah desk, but you can't pass up on solid wood!

{After}

I sand and stained her top dark walnut, the bottom was coated in creamy white with some ORB on the handles.

I'm actually not keeping her, I don't have any room!  My furniture obsession has filled up my house and I still have 4 more pieces in my garage waiting for some love.   Look at this lovely I found at Lula B...

30 freaking bucks! It's Bassett and has the original sales receipt inside, I looooooove all her details and was having the hardest time deciding on a color, but I think I figured it out and I've got her primed and ready to go!

By the way, I found a new shopping area in Dallas {I love this town! I've lived here for 16 years and I'm still finding new places to shop!} I went to check out a store I saw online and they were closed, but man it was antique heaven down there!

It's down off 35 and Oak Lawn {near downtown} and all those little dots are fabulous stores! {Some are pretty expensive, but wow do they make me want to marry for money in my next life!}
