Little desk redo

This is an old sewing table I found in our house when we moved in.  It was sturdy but did not look so good but I used it around the house for extra storage.  I have now decided to fix it up and use it as my workstation in my livingroom.  Needed to dress her up abit, so started with paint.




So here she is with 2 coats of paint and some new knobs to give her some elegance.

These knobs were a great buy from Michaels, they were $3 each and I just loved them.
The top of the desk was a little narrow, so I took a spare shelf I had lying around and covered it with some fabric.  To finish it off I glued on this trim.  I think she is looking lovely.
A close up of the trim, looks cute right!
Time to decorate, this container I got at my Thrift store.  I loved it, paid to much for it but fell in love with the little legs and the shape. 
Is this not cute.
I have put in some paper roses and it looks stunning on my new desk.
So here is my little desk.  Now I can do my blogging here.  Do need a chair or stool though.  Next job on my long to do list.
Have a wonderful day!

  6. I had a little desk like this I repainted, but it was never this cute. I love the sweet pink knobs and the lace trim. I'm sure a cute little chair will be darling for a complete set when you find the right one. At least this gives you a good excuse to go shopping again. After all, you have an agenda now. Who cares if you find something else while you are there! Thank you very much for dropping by my party this week.
