French Desk

For the first time in about four weeks the sun is shining on a weekend. I haven’t done much in the way of painting at all but I have managed to finish this beauty. When I first saw it I could see the potential in the beautiful carved patterns on the sides. Which have come up lovely once slightly sanded. It’s going to a new home this afternoon. The chair is part of a set of 4 I picked up through the week.

    Amazing what white paint can do. My fiance told me he had a highboy he wanted to bring into the apartment. I said, "It will get painted." 🙂 Have a lovely day ~ xox Alexandra

    Love what you did with the desk! You did a splendid job! I was also looking at your slipcovered chairs; love them too! I can't find slipcovers here. Perhaps I need to look into having them made. Enjoyed perusing your blog and I will be back. Have a lovely weekend.

    Blessings,
    Sandi
