So this little gem is the find of the week so far, and you have no idea how excited I am! When my mom built her new home & moved, I assumed she took the desk I had a child with her…WRONG…she apparently sold it in one of her famous garage sales that she has from time to time. I was heartbroken, well, I let her think that 🙂 Anyway, during one of my little thrift store stops, I ran across this one. It is exactly the same one I had from childhood, except for the “oddly appointed” knobs someone put there in place of the originals. I didn’t care! I snatched this up as quickly as I could and off I went smiling from ear to ear. Luckily, I found vintage replacement knobs and will be putting them in their rightful place. My delimia, however, is which color I want to upcycle this in. Black, antique white, navy, red? As soon as I decide and get started I’ll share pics. As for now, I’m just sharing the original and how amazing this little jewel will look once completely refinished!

I think all of us had this type of furniture in some form or fashion when we were little girls. I love it and have a whole new appreciation for it. I’ll be selling most of what I do, but I think I might hold onto this one and possibly use it as Natalie’s sewing table. I don’t know yet, I have so many ideas running through my head. Pics soon to follow 🙂
