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!
OMG you were in my part of town!!I know that area well and know what you mean by expensive. I havne't been down ther in a long while. Might have to go back soon!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great desk redo! So cute!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! You do such good work!
ReplyDeleteLove that Basset piece too! What a steal.
Great desk! Did you use your paint sprayer? How are you liking it?
ReplyDeleteLove the desk even though you couldn't keep it. I would totally do the new chest in yellow to go in my bedroom but I can't wait to see what you do with it!
ReplyDeleteWhat book is that?! I think I need it, for my sanity! HA!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this redo! It went from crap to expensive looking. GREAT job :) I bet that will sell fast. Where do you sell your furniture redos?
Seriously chick, you and I need to go shopping one day! You find the best deals!
ReplyDeleteyou are so amazingly talented! You are welcome to donate any of your furniture to me :-)
ReplyDeletelove how the desk turned out!
ReplyDeleteI nominated you for a blog award :)

ReplyDeleteI bought a dresser last week, that is hideous, in hopes of redecorating it. Thanks for the inspiration!
