I picked up a sweet antique secretary desk about 3 months ago … I saw the potential immediately. I apologize for no before pic…I had one, but it seems to not want to load tonight for some strange reason. Picture a cute, but drab antique desk in need of some sprucing up.
I decided to go neutral and painted her in Annie Sloan’s Old White chalk paint. I also paired up a cute chair and painted it with the same paint. My vision was a sweet and feminine desk with much character…and she is sweet and beautiful!
I think you’ll like her…
She is a gem, isn’t she?
I’ve affectionately named her Inspiring Ingrid.
I posted her for sale at the Blessed Nest tonight and within minutes, she had drummed up quite a bit of interest.
I confess I am
second-guessing this choice!
I just love her.
How could I not?

Beautiful little desk and I love the fabric on the seat.
She is a gem. I love the contrast with the color on the chair. I would be second guessing too!

This is such a beautiful project. I absolutely adore that fabric too. Megan
What a great re-do! My favorite part has to be the hardware you chose – just an excellent accent, the perfect little detail!
