Shabby Chic Desk

My mom scored this beautiful desk at an estate sale. The drawers were full of papers from the 70's and the wood on top wasn't in the best condition. With alittle paint and some elbow grease to refinish the top...this curvy lady turned into a beauty! One of my favorites--unique and pretty. [and I'm not a "pretty" kind of person!]






More French Provincial


I picked up two French Provincial style buffets at an auction months ago. As you can see, they started off in the usual light-wood-ugly look. I decided to go to with a cream color with light distressing and dark wax. It's a great piece--solid with plenty of storage, but not huge and bulky. The neutral color would look great in any dining room, entry way, hallway or family room!





French Provincial Makeover


How about this for a facelift? I absolutely love the finished product! A solid piece with tons of storage, that could be used for a dresser, buffet or media console. Check out the details up-close.


 This piece is currently available in my booth at Kelly & Company Antiques in Fayetteville, GA for $550.
