The Navy Blue Desk

With three sons and a grandson, I'm always on the look out for cute boy things. When I saw this desk I knew it was meant for a boy and needed to be painted navy blue. I have really been enjoying strolling through the thrift shops looking for furniture that just needs a little lovin. One of the things that makes this so enjoyable is doing it with my daughter-in-law, Abbey and Little Elijah Boy. I can't wait for garage sale season! I never thought I'd become a junker but I see things now and think, I can paint that!

With my son being in dental school and Abbey being a full time mom, Abbey and I would like to take our love for making things pretty again into a little business to help Peter and Abbey pay the bills. Soon we will have a web page just for this, but for now I would like to share the first piece we are selling with you.



Here's what it looked like before...
 
 
...and here's after!

 
 


This desk is solid! It is painted with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint with a dark wax finish for a bit of an antique look. The dimensions are 43" long x 31" high x 19 1/4" deep. We are asking $150.00. Please let me know if you're interested in it!

Thank you for letting me share this with you!

Blessings,
