Hey Guys,
Remember this desk, the catch all of my crap in the entryway before it had it's makeover? Elizabeth has always wanted it and so I thought the time has come. She goes off to high school in January and she will need somewhere to work in private away from the little two.
Using the Canterbury Blue Chalk Paint, I painted it white and I bought these beautiful pumpkin pulls off ebay for less than $2 each. I found them in store for $12.50 so I was pretty pleased with the price.
Only problem was the 4 week wait for them to be shipped, however I just think they're so pretty.
See Pretty!!
DIY Delight or Disaster? Oh delight for sure, I have always loved the desk but I think she is just stunning in white. I love the Canterbury Blue paints, I did receive a pot of the white paint for free, but have since bought a few more, I just love them. So the first touches of green in her room and they're so pretty.
Thanks for reading,
Mel xo
This is a wonderful delight, Mel! Love, love, the knobs! So cute! Every time you paint, the items are transformed into things of beauty! What a difference!
ReplyDeleteLovely transformation and so feminine! I remember my own first desk. I really thought I was "all that" having cubby holes to fill with "important" papers! Homework will take on a new importance for your daughter at her own private space! Very nicely done!
ReplyDeleteGreat makeover! I like the green knobs!

Very cute knobs, Mel ! And it goes nicely with the closet door color :-)
ReplyDeleteThe desk looks so pretty in white, and the green knobs are adorable... even if it took them 4 weeks to arrive. What a great transformation!
ReplyDeletePerfect for a young lady embarking on a new adventure! It's so much more feminine in the white and love the style and colour of the knobs. Good luck in high school Elizabeth!
ReplyDeleteAll the lovely touches of green are pure perfection. The desk looks great. I am sure your soon to be high schooler will have fun completing her homework there. What a lovely job, Mel.
ReplyDeleteIt is just beautiful and those knobs are lovely! I can't wait to see her room all put together! Have a blessed Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteI love that roll top desk too! It looks so pretty and fresh in white. Those pumpkin pulls are perfect for your high school princess! So was it really hard to get paint down in all of those crevices on the roll top?
ReplyDeleteYou realise now that she has this awesome piece of furniture to study at, you have increased her chances of becoming the future Prime Minister of Australia? Way to go Mel....all because of a creative Mom.
ReplyDeleteDelight, and the pulls match the new doors in her room too, so double delight. :)
ReplyDeleteI wondered the same about the crevices Mel. I have a roll top and I'm afraid the cracks would fill with paint... you did a great job on yours. LOVE the knobs! So fun!
ReplyDeleteOhhhhh! I love those! They are worth the $12, but love that you got them for so much less. Great deal, for such cute pulls. I want to move in and have you decorate my room. :)
ReplyDeleteThe knobs wee worth the wait - love the transformation. Also great green wardrobe doors.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty transformation and a delight, for sure. The white with green pulls is stunning. What is so cool is that you've helped her create a space of her own. Good luck to her as she enters a new phase of her life. Way to go MOM!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a delight! Love what you've done!
