BEFORE. Garage sale chair, flea market mirror frame, we had the desk for ages.
AFTER. My mom made the quilt top hanging on the back of the chair (which is now almost finished), and the new desk/vanity was made to order to match. The mirror isn't quite where it was finally placed, but you get the idea. The detail photo at the beginning of this post is of the top of the mirror frame, of the carved area. I really wanted to antique this a little, but she likes the bright clean look of it, and the "customer" is always right, yes?
I'm going to WOYWW like crazy for the next hour at least . . . see you there?

Hi Trisha, lovely post and thanks for the visit to mine. Have a lovely woyww and happy crafting, Angela x 19
What a fun finalize project. Any daughter would be pleased to have this piece in her room and it is extra special because you did it. Great to see you around and glad to hear you've been doing "stuff." Thanks for the visit earlier. Dio is keeping a good eye on me. Judy #48

Fabulous makeovers - can you do one on me and turn me into something so fabulous please.Hugs, Neet 5 xx
Your re-do is so beautiful!! It just shows why it's better to upcycle and paint things. You could never buy that. Thanks for your sweet visit! Sandy Leigh #36
Trisha, this is truly gorgeous... That mirror looks as if it's been partnered with the desk forever! What a fab colour scheme, and I love the chalky finish to the paint, too. You've done a beautiful job there! Thank you for your lovely comment. I am determined to be patient and see this through - not long to go now till the final treatment is over, and then I can concentrate on getting well again, and looking forward to getting more energy back again. I'm thinking positive!!
Happy belated WOYWW,

I love DecoArt's Chalky Finish paints. They're so pretty and nice to work with. I am not a furniture painter however but you have done such a stunning job with this! I love that mirror. How positively bohemian! If your daughter-in-law decides she really doesn't like it, it can come live at my house. *wink wink* :)
Thank you for your kind words on my post. They made me smile!
Hugs!

Amazing job in recreating a fun new version of the desk. Just lovely.

Oh wow, what an amazing job you did on the furniture! I like the 'antique look' more but you are right, the customer puts in in their home so you leave it as she wants it... it IS gorgeous both ways after all! Thanks for your visit earlier this week, happy (belated) woyww and a hug from Holland! Marit #14
Hi, Trisha, what a transformation of the furniture! It must feel rewarding to take something from ordinary to lovely. It's nice to see you at the WOYWW party. ~ Laura #53
