Pretty Little Desk

Hey guys,

I know it’s not very creative but when I look at this desk I think “what a pretty little desk”.

gray and white using Reclaim paint

this is how she started out, very plain

I used the Reclaim bright white and for the drawers I mixed Reclaim Licorice and the Reclaim Bright White to get the gray.

I spray painted the original hardware.

Gray and white together is so clean looking. Also very calming!

I’m heading to my workshop to spend the day on paint projects! It’s going to be a good day.

Thanks for stopping by. I love visitors. I'm Kathy and I live in Clarksville, Tennessee. I happily admit to being a junk addict. Some of my passions are; architectural objects,anything rusty, rhinestone jewelry, vintage hardware, and old wood furniture. I love, love, love, painting furniture! I use paint, fabric, paper, appliques, stencils, toners, etc. when restyling a piece of furniture. My favorite shopping spots are junk shops, flea markets, and salvage yards. I love sharing pictures of my junkin' trips. Come along for the ride. It's always fun!

Petticoat Junktion painted furniture projects have been showcased on a number of home decor and diy websites. We have also been featured in local newspapers and family magazines. Exerts from the Leaf Chronicle newspaper article on Jan. 15, 2012…….Liberate your furniture, The Leaf-Chronicle Give them your tired, worn out masses of furniture yearning to breathe with new life. A few local ladies are granting liberty to worn out furniture that wants to enjoy a second life in the land of the stylish. By using special paints and specific techniques, these women are taking part in the mantra of today’s decor: reclaim, reuse, repurpose and re-imagine. They take furniture that may not look so chic — a set of old chairs or a dresser in a standard wood stain — and paint them in various shades to look as though their natural finishes.
