Thrift Shop Desk Do Over

I was so excited to have a customer bring me this desk she purchased at the local thrift store for 19.99. I live for these moments! She wanted me to do magic to it for her high school daughter who loves all things French. The ideas started pouring out and I was so excited to get started.
First I drybrushed the desk in a cottage white. Then I used one of my favorite blue colors and dry brushed that on so bits of white showed through here and there.

My favorite touch was using antique french dictionary pages and prints of the eiffel tower and some french accents I put on the desktop and then I painted over parts of them so they looked like they had been there forever.
For the grand finish, I then put these beautiful white rose knobs from Anthropologie on the drawers and several coats of polyurethane on the top.

I am very pleased with the final result and so were they!
