Tuesday To do...Teenage Daughters Desk

The Project for This week was finding a replacement desk for my daughters room since I so kindly took her white kids desk and moved it into her sisters room (which caused some sisterly contention). I told my daughter to give me two weeks to find a new desk well this gave me a good excuse to shop and did I shop. It took me a total of two days to find the perfect desk along with only spending less than 200.00 which was my tight budget. Thank goodness for second hand stores I was able to keep in my budget and better yet it was a pottery barn scratch and dent. Now my daughters relationship is on the mend and she is happy with her almost completed bedroom.
Have a Wonderful Day be creative and find joy in all that you do!

I picked a simple black and white stripe to be made for a chair cushion. The color of the room is purple, black and white and since the walls are busy I thought that a stripe would add some texture and yet help draw the eye to another space in the room.

Along side the desk is a traditional black chair that had some curves at the top to help soften the room. Also to help add a whimsical feel that is felt by the painted black and white wall mural.

This is the treasure! A Pottery Barn scratch and dent desk with minor scratches on the top and one on the side I couldn't pass it up and it looks perfect in my daughters room. Some of you might be asking why not go black well here is my answer for that...I thought that the room could use some warmth and a classic style and color of furniture so that in the future we can use this desk as a transitional piece. Also I was a bit tired of all black it can be a bit much for any one let alone a teenage daughter that it trying to deal with emotions.
