Antique Writing Table Makeover

I must be one of the luckiest girls around!

My friends always bring me such fun stuff to work on,

like this sweet, little writing table.

Here's the table before, on the left.

This is such a pretty piece of furniture.

The delicate legs

and the curved crossbars on the bottom.

The delicate design on the front.

The wonderful tray that slides out.

I painted the body with Homeplate from American Paint Company

then used a damp rag to distress it.

On the sides and front, as well as on the slide-out,

I used American Paint Company's Treasure Box,

one of my favorites.

After filling in a few holes on the top,
most likely where some cubbies had sat originally,
I used CeCe Caldwell's Beckley Coal.

I paired it with a chair I had picked up recently at a garage sale.
The same sale I grabbed a small bookcase from.

The chair got the same paint colors as the table
for a perfect little set!

I just love these two together!

What do you think of this pretty little pairing?

Let's keep in touch...
