Big girl work area...

 After Thanksgiving, I went to the Habitat Store and found this awesome desk.  The entire store was 50% off and I got it for $15.  Thanks to Santa, I got a sander for Christmas and sanded the desk down to the bare wood.  It took about 2 days  to sand and then 2 days to paint.

I brought Stella with me to the Home Depot and she picked out a lovely shade of blue called 'Spa.'  I think it compliments her room nicely.  Of course, this little girl's desk isn't complete without a little bling and she also picked out the 'crystal' drawer pulls.

Just a closer look at the paint and pulls from the side.  I love how the pulls create a prism effect when the sunlight hits it.  Instant rainbows!









Her new work area.  The desk has been filled with pencils, markers, crayons, coloring books and craft things to keep her creative juices flowing.  It's also a great spot for her to work on 'homework.'

 The mirror was also a Habitat Store find at just $5.  I spray painted it white and gave it a good cleaning, voila a beautiful mirror fit for a little princess.  The headband holder was taken from pinterest and the vanity bench (also a Habitat Store find $10)  was spray painted white also.

 The bench is a tad too big, but does the job.  I recovered the seat with leftover fabric I had from another project.

The great pinterest find that also acts as a shelf for her 'perfumes.'
















It's been a while since I last posted, I hadn't really had any projects that I worked on through the holidays.  I have another piece of furniture (my hubby's dresser) waiting in the garage for it's makeover.  I also have a headboard frame waiting for it's self improvement process to begin.  More pictures to come as these projects are completed!
