*Holly Paint*

So, it has been forever since I posted, but I have been working like crazy on pieces...so hopefully these post will be coming closer together!
I found this desk and chair awhile back and just knew they had potential.

I have a feeling that it was thrown out because Brade's Mom was 
REALLY ANGRY
  about this....

AND THIS....
AND THIS TOO...
AND THIS ALSO!!!
But if only she knew that it could be THIS...than maybe she would of thought twice before tossing it to the curb...Honestly I'm surprised that Brade wasn't also thrown to the curb!! 
A little gray paint and some stripes can make anything look better!

    Your creativity with furniture is inspiring! It makes me want to find some old furniture and paint it sooo bad!

    Really cute! Love the color combo and in fact, I did a dresser a couple of weeks ago that would be a perfect match for this!! Great minds think alike.... in case you'd like to see it's partner! http://artichokealley.blogspot.com/2011/03/5-drawer-gray-navy-dresser-with-mirror.html

    Oh my word, that's adorable. The pictures of all the autographs were so darn funny.

    The stripes are super clever, I don't know if I would have thought of that! Thanks for stopping by my blog and for your thoughtful comment today :)

    Beautiful! I love the vertical stripe that extends onto the top and the chair is awesome. I featured you today on my favorite things :)
