I finally finished my little project I have been blogging about for weeks.
Really, it was, just a small project.
Somehow, I ended up with way too many "redo's".
My daughter needed a new desk for school.
Not wanting to pay the hefty $248 for a new one, I chose to scour the thrift stores.
I found this one for $40.
Before
I have never had an issue with spray paint - until now - and, we won't go there.
I ended up sanding it down and repainting with a brush.
Below is the result after 3 coats of glossy black.
I purchased the chair below from Rooms to Go Kids for $39.
Before
After
Look a tiny bit different?
My husband built and added arms.
What you see is the second set of arms.... I changed my mind on the style of the first ones.
(Luckily, I have a very understanding husband)
My third "redo" was the cushions........
Using leftover fabric from my sewing room remodel (post for another time),
I made the back cushion and was not happy with the fit, soooo....
yep, made another.
Just for fun, I added buttons to the back.
And I am DONE!

Hey, I wanna chair with my own embroidered P! :) Seriously, you did a great job on redoing both the table and chair with cushions. Love the buttons down the back!
It is hard to believe that these are the same items, you have three beautiful finishes!!
Adorable! That monogrammed chair is so cute! I want one. I understand about the painting. I painted just a chair this week and it was a long process. I'd rather sew! Thanks for sharing. Happy Sewing! :o)

Wow! You did a great job and your daughter is very blessed for all your work!
You did a great job! That turned out beautiful! The French toile patters in my favorite and I did the nurseries of both my children in it. It comes in so many great colours.
Visiting from the Tea Party. You have a great blog!
