Back in 2011 for Bea’s birthday we redecorated her room for her and surprised her. We bought her a cute desk but she’s super hard on furniture and we really need to re-do it before the PCS. I FINALLY got it checked off my list last week!
This was the before, we were also just using a small wicker stool that we found. It has since died and been thrown out.
As you can see there are maker spots, and all kinds of stuff from her ‘projects’ that she likes to do.
I sanded down the desk & drawers and got off all the loose paint before painting it.
This is the after, and I love it! I took her pillowcase to Home Depot and they were able to match the pink off the pillowcase and make the paint. Yes, the lady did look at me like I was crazy when I asked her to use the pillowcase but she said she’d try, and yippee it worked!
A few months ago I had scored a chair, but it needed to be re-done as well since the person who did had refinished it did a crummy job.
Since it was spray painted lime green over the old green paint I decided to prime it first.
I took off the old fabric, that was too short so the person glued on an extra piece, I mean really who does that?!
Then I used a staple gun to recover it with the fabric that Bea picked out.
Painted it pink, and put the seat back on.
Now she’s got a ‘new’ desk for her room! It really didn’t take long to do either. I think the black will hold up much better for her and the pink gives it a cute pop of color, plus matches her bedding. She was so excited when she seen it! Now the moves better not jack it up in the move, LOL!
