Kids love having their own desk or work table. This cute one has a great vintage vibe and easy to personalize for a special Christmas gift!
My daughter had used this little unfinished table when she was younger (yes, I never painted it--the cobbler's children never have new shoes). She had scribbled on it--I also had this old metal and wood school chair. You can get unfinished kid's tables and chairs at craft stores and our thirft stores often have them.
I painted them in Annie Sloan paint, Provence and Emperor's silk.
I decided they need a number to tie the two separate pieces together and to add a little detail. I labeled the set as school district #42 desk and chair. I hand painted this, but you can use stencils.
Sometimes simple is best.
especially in this case! I so love the color and the number! Way beautiful. i am curious as to how well the A.S. adheres to metal. SOOO pretty!
ReplyDeleteSo cute. Love the layering of color. The combination is different. Love it,

Becky; that is too adorable! Love the red; it's the perfect old timey color and sweet with numbers. You are so creative! Hugs, Patty
ReplyDeleteawww, love the red! and the 42. I think that chair matches some I worked on last spring. :)

oh how cute! I love the "old fashioned" look of this! I had a little red desk when I was little...I remember playing "school" on it
