Desk and chair progress

Earlier this week I started work on a old chair and unloved desk.  I sanded and sanded on that old chair, but I decided to leave a lot of the defects for character.  In my opinion you might as well go out and buy brand new furniture if you are going to fill and sand all the character out of a piece of furniture.....they are beauty marks ;)

Well, they don't look like that anymore!  The chair is painted a bright white and I've heavily distressed it and the desk is distressed but in a dark slate gray.  I'm planning on painting the desk top the same bright white for contrast and maybe paint a bird sitting on a branch across the bottom of the top.  I will paint something similar on the chair so they will coordinate.  I can't wait until I get to that part!!!!

  Fast forward 24 hours!!!

I finally finished the desk and chair!  I just put the jewelry on the desk, sweet glass knobs that glitter.  I distressed the bottom of the desk and painted the chair and tabletop white.  I then painted a branch with a bird perched and added a little birdie on the back of the chair to tie them together.  My girls are practically drooling, but since there is only one desk and two of them I think this one needs to find a new home :)
