A Desk With Potential

A few months back I found a fabulous desk for my daughter but I forgot to share it with you all.

The top has water rings, the finishes is very dark and a few of the drawer pulls are falling off.

But its solid and it's curves had me jumping for joy.  Little Miss E is loving it also.  I'm all for painting it up and distressing it a bit.  Miss E likes it the way it is.  So I'm working on changing her mind ...ever so slowly ... maybe in a couple months she'll give me the "go ahead".

Look at those curvy drawers!  Love them and the rope detail along the tops edge.  Oh, and look at the cute little legs!  Hmmmm, maybe I should have kept this desk for myself...next time I'd better think these things through a little better huh!


Have a great day everyone!

  7. Fabulous desk. And yes, you should have kept it for yourself. But then I'm selfish like that. I vote for painting it. Tell your daughter she is out voted.

  8. I'm a mom who is not above bribery...maybe you could try a little of that to get her to change her mind. :)
