French Writing Desk

Here it is! The French Writing Desk made beachy and breezy....



I am SO in love!




I used a layed brush technique on top.
ASCP in Old White alternating with a custom stain/glaze mix.




There's actually a little ASCP Duck Egg Blue under that thick middle part!
It wasn't looking how I'd hoped, so it stayed white. :-)




Some light distressing all around.




The original hardware worked nicely.




The desk tray was left untouched. This tray is AMAZING!




That's a little removeable pen/pencil holder toward the front.




It clips very securely into place.





Remember the before.....






The before wasn't bad, but I love the lighter look on the piece.
Here's my attempt at staging. :-)




SOLD

Dimensions are 58" long x 30" wide x 30"

Contact me for arrangements.

On another note, here is the decoration me and the girls put together.
Simple, easy, fast.
Just leaves, my fall decor pinecones, and some sticks. :-)





I stenciled the coasters awhile back for my sister's bridal shower.
I need to make some more!!!




Haha! Not picture perfect, but a memory made.
The oldest call it the Stone Arch
from Tinkerbell and the Lost Treasure....of course! Love that girl. :-D




I'm also working on reviving this sad chair.
It was from my Aunt to try and work a miracle.
It needed one too - it's a very strange randomly pieced chair.
I think it will look pretty cute when I'm done, even though still a bit rustic. ;-)



I hope your week is off to a great start!
If you get a chance, head over to Hyphen Interiors
where Kristy is featuring all of the projects that have used
her painted chair tutorial - including my Painted Pink Chair.
I LOVE Kristy's blog - so talented! Check it out.



See you tomorrow for Quick Tip Tuesday!

Old World Drexel Heritage Vanity/Desk

I couldn't finish this piece of furniture fast enough I was SO excited about it! It's a solid wood Drexel Heritage Vanity Antique that was in pretty bad shape and needed some love. I often (like daily!) meander over to European Paint Finishes because EVERY single piece of their furniture is A.MAZ.ING - and totally inspiring.  When I found this vanity, I immediately thought of this desk they posted awhile back - GORGEOUS. I was inspired to try something similar, and entered new territory - Old World Style.  Here's what I came up with!



Without mirror





With mirror.



You'll have to bear with me as I took A LOT of pictures.
Here are some close-ups.
















 $325
Contact me for arrangements.

Original hardware with patina.
Beautiful scalloped detail carving around the desktop.
Beautiful ornate decals. Complete solid wood throughout.
Model numbers on the back of each seperate piece.

Dimensions are 48" long x 18.5" deep x 30" high to desktop
                                                                            x 73" high to the top of the mirror.


Have you ever tried to take a picture of a dresser or vanity with a mirror?
It's hard! :-)



Well...remember the before I posted awhile back:







Once again, I'd love to keep her.
