Four things I like about this little makeover from Tobey at Tobey’s Trash or Treasure.
#1. the white chalk paint
#2. the gray numbers on the drawers
#3. the original handles
#4. And how she replaced that ridiculously awkward-looking foam seat cushion with something that actually looks comfortable and covered it in a kicky print to match the numbering on the desk, and tied the whole package of cuteness together. I give it four thumbs up! I don’t really have four thumbs, but pretend I do. Actually, don’t, that’s weird.

January 8, 2013 at 11:39 PMThanks for the comments, this desk went to a 5 year old for Christmas. At first her Mom wasn’t sure about the numbers either, but apparently the little girl loves it. And I am happy if the customer is happy. thanks so much for featuring it. hugs Tobey
