This is a 1950's vintage dresser that I re-designed to become a desk or work station for a girlie girl! I replaced the original mirror with a cork board for posting photos, phone numbers and important dates! The veneer was chipping and peeling at the bottom of each side so I decided to camoflauge the splintering with 1/4 inch plywood flowers. It then just made sense to cut out more flowers to scatter around the rest of the desk. White, porcelain knobs were a perfect accent for the drawers. The flowers made this treasure a unique conservation piece!
Last fall at an art show I sold "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" to an excited little girl who had the perfect place in her bedroom for a girlie desk!
I can see why a little girl would be happy with this beauty!
ReplyDeleteThanks Marianne! It was a fun piece to work with and transform from an old, gray-teal dresser! I appreciate your reading my blog!
