Little Red School Desk

I would love to be showing you a picture of a completed ginormous dining table right now, however, that project turned out to be an epic fail.  Painting and glazing the base was wonderful, but when we got to the top it was uncooperative.  The glazing wasn't working and we kept getting a random breeze that brought in dust particles.  So we decided to put it away for now and wait til the weather cooperated a bit so that we can finish it.

Moving on....

We got the cutest little desk last week and just had to finish it.  It was all inspired by this beautiful paper I picked up on Sunday.  Red and white and birds.  LOVE IT!!

We've been priming in gray lately because we love the finish it leaves when you start distressing.  This colonial red color went perfect with the paper.

Isn't the paper super cute?

and this is what it looks like in the sun.

This desk will be at the Rose Bowl Flea Market on Sunday.  Come visit us at space 3586. Please excuse my mess in my garage, still trying to get settled into our new place.  Which reminds me, I still haven't shown you my house.  Come back tomorrow to sneak a peek.
