Deskapalooza

Looking for desk makeovers? You found em! I’ve got three for you to gaze upon today, each very different.  Which one will appeal to you the most?

Let’s take this quiz to find out.

#1) You are walking along a riverbank. You spy something interesting along the trail and pick it up. It is:

A. an old tin can

B. a bunch of wildflowers

C. a piece of driftwood (driftwood exists on the riverbank because I said so).

 

#2) Your favorite type of jewelry is:

A. I don’t wear much jewelry, but if I do, it’s something I’ve probably made myself, out of objects I found along the riverbank.

B. girly, frilly, blingy, and fabulous!

C. something timeless, but with a quirky kick

 

#3) You discover a long-forgotten table in your grandpa’s shed. You:

A. Do nothing to it. The weathered patina is perfection.

B. Sand that baby down and paint it something colorful.

C. Are torn between bringing it back to its glory days, or updating it for these here modern days.

 

If you answered mostly A’s, then you may enjoy this industrial school-house style desk that Beck rescued from beige oblivion. She covered the formica top with a coat of chalkboard paint, and it’s ready to roll straight into your heart on those cute little casters.  See it at Beckwith’s Treasures.

 

 

If you answered mostly B’s, then nothing is too girlishly garnished for you. Get a load of this decoupaged desk that Shanna at Restoration Redoux covered with a unapologetically glamorous rose print. It belongs in your boudoir, dahling.

 

 

 

Mostly C’s? Then the appeal of MCM’s clean lines speak to you, although you aren’t a stickler for tradition either.  Maybe you’ll paint that sewing table, maybe you won’t.  Maybe you’ll be like Better After reader Lori and paint it because the former owner was a smoker and NOTHING else would get the smell out.  You know.  Whatevs.  You’re easy like that.  That’s why I like you.
