The Bee Happy Desk & Chair

Here’s the Bee Happy Desk and chair.

Something tells me it truly is happier now than it was when it looked like this…

It was very structurally sound. I liked the idea that it wasn’t real “heavy” with the right side being open. Seems like it would make a perfect laptop desk.

Since the top was some sort of laminate, I decided to cover it with some vintage book pages and a few fun images of bees and a crown.

The existing hardware was pretty bad….SO…I got four wood knobs, painted them and added the bee detail.

I painted the main body of the desk with Annie Sloan’s Chalk Paint in Old White,

Then I painted the drawer with her Provence paint. I finished with a couple coats of clear and then dark wax on the drawers.

The small chair was also painted in Provence and I used some of the floral fabric in neutrals.

Thanks for stopping in to take a look at this desk makeover. I am in the mood to transform more “lost” pieces…hoping that the yard sales are lucrative this weekend.

See you soon …
