Fabulous Blue Girls French Provincial Desk


Here's a sweet little blue and white French Provencial dresser.  I just love all the details on this little doll!  I made the blue custom chalk paint from a mistint I purchased about a year ago...and I love this color...but, it is not consistent and has been giving me major issues.  This is when I love the consistency of using a premade chalk paint like Annie Sloan, CeCe Caldwell, or American Paint Co.  So, this set has taken for ever for me to finish, I am so discouraged.  But I will move on.  This set has a dresser, desk, chair, mirror, and I painted an antique (not French Provencial) full headboard the same color).  The desk is the only completed piece as of right now.  The dresser will be finished by Friday and in the shop, but the desk is ready for a new home!

Vintage Buffet turned from Drab to ooooh lala Paris!

 With the recent Paris and French Country design interests that I have been seeing pinned quite a bit, I thought I'd do my interpretation with this older vintage buffet from the early 1950's.  I bought it from a wonderful lady that inheritted it from her aunt.  I also bought a chippy antique table and chairs from her...I can't wait to show you those.  But I digress, it seems like I have been working on this piece for months, but really its been a few weeks only.  I have been working on multitple pieces at a time lately...so quite a few are ready all at once.  I find it more efficient that way.  While one piece is drying, I can move on to the other, and so on.
