Hey Readers!
I've been a little MIA for a few reasons, one big one would be my finger. It's had a problem. But it's getting better and I can type again, so that's a blogger relief! The other reason would be that the grass is finally green and growing here and I have a small side lawn business. The money is much better in that industry than the blogging industry! That, and I get paid to get a tan. :)
I think this little antique wooden school desk is a pretty self explanatory post, so I'll save my finger and let you see the pictures to see how it all came about. :) Enjoy!
I was telling my mom about my vision for this project and that I thought it should have a star on it somewhere. She insisted that a number was the way to go. So I combined our ideas and got this:
I made a stencil for the "2" using my tutorial HERE. |
Is anyone getting sick of seeing this blue color yet? So far I've used it on my piano, a dresser, and end table, and now this. I hope it's still okay with you, because I still have A LOT left! I think I'll do a high chair with it next....

Kammy it turned out awesome! Love it!!
ReplyDeleteCute! Love the star/number combo
ReplyDeleteYour furniture redoes never cease to amaze me! And I LOVE this color blue. It might have been neat to continue the points of the stars onto the part of the chair beneath, but that would have been quite a challenge, I imagine.
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing! I would love for you to visit me at My Dream Canvas. I am also currently hosting a giveaway from the famous tabletop and giftware brand Mikasa. You can enter to win some pretty dishes :)
ReplyDeleteThe chair looks awesome! love how you combined the two ideas, star and the # together they are a perfect fit!
ReplyDeleteI love it! The star on the seat is so unexpected, but it looks great.
ReplyDeleteYou should link this up at DIY Maynia - this week's challenge was thrift store/garage sale projects! :)
