So last week I posted about Kayla’s dresser that I painted, well I knew the minute that I finished with it that I would be doing her desk and chair the exact same way.
Here it is before of the chair and desk. Sorry the desk is all laid out, I was very excited!
And the after…..
Ahhhh, much better. Oh and yes if you look very close, (I’m keeping it real) you will see some chips in the paint above and below the drawers. I was trying to get it all put back together before it was completely dry! See I told y’all I was excited. (and yes I spray painted the knobs and pulls with brushed nickel just like I did the dresser)
Oh and don’t you just love that chair?! You see Kayla is unaware but for Christmas (shhh!!) she is getting a new bed in a bag with polka dots on it, kinda similar to the storage cube over to the right in the picture and of course that color is on it. So it will all come together and match perfectly!
Did you notice the little pink and purple jars on the left side of the desk? The big one is a pickle jar and the smaller is a jam jar! I know!! I just spray painted them and it’s perfect for her colored pencils and pen and pencils.
I wonder what I can paint and make over next…Hmmm. Maybe that sewing machine which is holding Kayla’s tv?

Hi there!
I popped over from ASPTL. Love your redo. I used to have a bedroom set like that. I always wondered if it was paintable and real wood. I kept the set until I had children and then gave it away.
I love that aqua chair! Great job. And what a great idea with the old jars!
Great makeover! I so love that blue chair at the white desk, cool!
Oh that looks so good, Joanna!!! great job! Nancy
Fantastic job. The chair color is fabulous!
Oh I love the chair color!
Paint does wonders! Both turned out so well!
Nancy

Thanks!

The makeover looks great! You did a wonderful job!
Oh my gosh! That turned out great! I love the color of the chair!!!
Oh my! I have that desk. It was mine as a teen.
I think I'll have to bring it back from my parents' house for my tween.
Cute!!!!!!
SUPER great makeover! I love how you took something old, and dated and made it look brand new! Your daughter is going to love her new room, especially when the bedding set comes at Christmas!
Also, LOVE your pickle and jam jars! I haven't thought about spray painting jars!
Melissa :D
Like your drop cloth :)
Nice job!
I have this same exact french provencial set in the dresser and vanity with mirror. I love the colors~
oh pretty desk! Great job!
