Beach Cottage Desk Remake

I have caught the Annie Sloan paint bug and I just can't stop. I love expressing my creativity by bringing outdated furniture new life.

I found this desk at Goodwill and it is so different from anything I would usually pick but I love the heavy metal shell knobs it has.

I almost forgot to take the before picture--I had already painted one of the drawers! So glad I remembered at the last minute because I always love to remember the transformation.

I painted it in Pure White, Old Ochre, and Duck Egg. I thought the stripes make it look even more beachy.

What do you think? In the right home I think this would be so cute!

I love the seashells and I think the bamboo adds to the beachy theme too.

I don't know if you can see it or not, but I painted the bamboo in Old Ochre, just a little bit more tan than the white.

I think it is charming! I am going to paint a small chair to coordinate with it. I hope I can sell it and it finds the perfect home!

So what have you all been doing?

Update: I finished the chair! Thought it turned out cute so thought I would share it...
