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!

13th Birthday

This past weekend was my babies birthday. We decided on a farewell Princess party. She helped with the tablescape, our first ever. All our plates and serving dishes were from the dollar store.

The dishes are plastic from the dollar store. Candle holders are ramekins and the candles are flameless candles. The glasses are glass ones from the dollar store. We served them sparkling grape juice, in place of champagne, so that they could toast the birthday girl.

My daughter came up with the idea for the napkin and cutlery in the glasses. We could not find napkins to match our table cloth so we used a rollerstamp and Stampin Up blue ink to make our own.
