Furniture Friday - the cute little Desk

Desk or vanity with homemade chalk paint


This cute little desk was a piece that I had hanging around for a while before I knew what I wanted to do with it

It belonged to a sweet man who said it belonged to his Great Aunt

I fight with myself sometimes about painting furniture, is it the right thing to do?

It's worse if the piece is perfect looking, like this one

I wonder, is there going to be a whole new generation of furniture bloggers a few years from now stripping all this chalk paint and distressed paint work off these pieces and calling us names while they do it? I think so, for sure

Even so, I decided to make my own chalk paint for this one and to distress and antique only the drawers and the top

Here is a rare photo of me painting

Tartan tastes in Texas


It turned out looking great, all beachy and bright
