vintage desk


somewhere along the way, i realized painting furniture makes me happy.  it's a great distraction, a creative outlet for me and something completely different from mothering to do.  i love this stratford blue on this vintage child's desk.  the desk was in terrible shape.  someone was throwing it away, so i took it, removed the drop down leaf, unhooked the metal arms and sanded the thing down and painted it.  a top coat of poly and voila.  a little desk for a little girl.
