~ Desk Makeover ~

This week has been really busy and I haven't had much time to work on my blog, however, I did find sometime this week to do a makeover on a desk and chair that I got from Craigslist for 20.00.  It was pretty ugly when I bought it but I knew it had great potential.

This is what the desk and chair looked like before

And this is what they look like now


 I'm not totally done with the chair ~ I just used painters canvas to take the place of the flower material until I can find another fabric.I think this will be a nice addition to the craft room ~studio that I am trying to create.  I am looking forward to getting everything done & I hopefully will be posting pics soon!

    I love your new desk, we found a similar one last week at Goodwill and cannot wait to paint it.

    What a great transformation. Love the black and the canvas seat cover. Perhaps you could stencil something on the seat. The canvas is so in right now. Hugs, Ginger I am a new follower
