I'd been on the lookout for a desk for my neighbor's daugher, Stella. She is such a sweet little 7 year old gal, and since I'll never have a daughter, it was fun to do something girly like this piece!
Here is the before. This thing is HEAVY with a capital H. Solid and well made. I got the set for $25:
The chair is still in progress...I'm waiting on the fabric to arrive. But here is the creamified "after" pics of the desk! I usually distress and glaze, so this was a nice change of pace...I really like the way it turned out.
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

I'll just echo everyone else and say those are some adorable knobs! It's amazing how a coat of fresh paint can make a dated piece of furniture beautiful and relevant again.

You got a killer deal, there, missy! Didn't you get another desk for like $5 a while back? I'll bet your neighbor loves it!
Really love the desk and can't wait to see the finished chair!
Newly GFC following you (found you through the Follow Along Linky). I'm new to blogging and working on redecorating a condo from scattered-still-looks-like-college-hodgepodge-meets-man-cave and changing it into a cohesive home. One little bit of inspiration and small project at a time. My blog has all sorts of things that make me smile plus I'm cataloging my inspiration there as well. And once I've got a few before and after pictures, I'll be sharing my projects.
Love your blog--thank you for sharing your projects--I just love bloggyland for all the fabulous inspiration and I definitely try to follow anyone who has similar tastes to me and good projects!
