Since I got back from Miami on Monday I have eased back into workhorse mode.  The vacation was great.  Just what I needed but I’ve got work to do!  I can already feel fall approaching which means the Clover market season is just weeks away plus our Brick & Mortar Harvest Party and so on.  What’s a girl to do?  Make obsessive-keep-me-on-track lists of course.

My garage is stacked full with furniture in various before states so I decided to start crossing things off of the “to be painted list” by finishing this adorable little antique desk/console table.

She started out as a plain Jane with great curves and lines.

I made her over with Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint in Shutter Grey.  (Coming soon to our shop!!)

This color has a seemingly blue undertone but also surprises with hints of white which add depth and texture.  And it highlighted all of the antique “flaws” which I love about the old, loved desk.

With all of that texture, the piece is still smooth as a baby’s behind to the touch thanks to the wax in Miss Mustard Seed’s line.  I gave the drawer a modern twist with a coveted Anthropologie aqua rose knob.

And she’s got great legs…

I could just see this desk being used as a console table in an entry way to collect keys and mail on top.  With shoes being kicked off underneath next to an umbrella.  I am putting it up for sale this weekend in my space at West End Garage in Cape May.

And I might bring along this new-to-me antique glass jar.  Isn’t it fab?  I filled it with sparkly, old blue camera bulbs.  Those are mine!  They used to belong to Ryan’s dad once upon a time.

Any projects on the horizon for you?
