Soft Turquoise paint project.
This desk was first shown on my blog last February for the
COPY ME CHALLENGE, a fun contest put on by 2 well known bloggers.

It has been used as a desk until I found something that worked better.
I also had this perfect little stool for it.
Here you can see both the desk and stool used in our guest room.

I had a stool and a desk but still needed a mirror!
This is where my mother's old dresser comes in.
Her dresser is going to end up getting painted like ...
this!

The mirror is a perfect fit to the desk and stool.
So desk, stool, and mirror now become a pretty vanity set
and the second project I used chalk paint on.
This time I brush painted it and again I enjoyed the process very much
and I only used a small amount of paint.
2 things I wanted to try were ...
to paint the hardware, which came out perfectly, the paint adheres so well.
and to see how it would remove if painted on a mirror.
The conclusion to the mirror is ...
It cleans up very simply with water and a cloth.
She's the perfect set! So remember to look for similar styles in your thrifty finds and
maybe just maybe you can pair them up to create something like this.
