After I finished the hot pink dresser & nightstand, my daughter was begging me to keep it.  Well, she does not need a new dresser – but I found this desk at Good Will & figured that before too long, she would need a desk in her room.  It was pretty beat up and scratched – no biggie though!  I know it would be the perfect thing to paint sparkly pink!  I didn’t have very much paint left from the hot pink dresser (it took 4 coats!!)  so I just mixed what I had with the pink paint that is on the walls in her room.

and here it is finished!  I am looking for new hardware for the bottom drawer still – was missing when I got it.

I think she’s pretty excited 🙂  She had to put all of her “stuff” in the drawers right away, and notice the computer on top….sheesh20130921_100339

again with the “bad” pictures – just wanted to give you a close up of the sparkles!  20130921_094337

My aunt & uncle love to yard sale, and they are always on the look out for things for me.  They brought me this desk one day, and I thought it was perfect for my small space and love how it closes up to hide all the mess!

the top was pretty scratched up & had “rings” from drinks being set on it.  I decided to just paint the outside “shell” grey, and then sand and stain the rest.  I distressed the grey just a little, and then sealed the whole thing with satin varathane.

I just lightly sanded the inside, and gave it a new top coat for protection.

Of course I had to replace the shiny brass knob for a cute new one from Pier 1 – love my new desk!!
