When you were in college did you ever get just so excited to go out with your friends for the night and party, that you ended up being a little on the early side to the party and then you felt like a complete dork? Well I did. I still am neurotic about being on time for everything, and often am a little early. Well, today I am so excited about this makeover, and heck, it's my party. So if I want to start it early, I can! And if you to come and party early with me, then by all means! You are in good company!
I am so excited about the makeover I have to share with you this week. I was able to get away to the auction last week and found this charming desk.
See, it was charming, cottagey, simple.... even had vintage Holly Hobby contact paper in the drawer. Cute, but not for me. I wanted to give this desk a more sophisticated look! Bring on the Newburg green paint! Bring on the Lion's head pulls (from my stash)! Bring on the cool wallpaper!! And here it is after all the bringing on!
This cute little desk will be coming to the Lucketts Market with me next month! And if it happens to come back home with me, it might move in permanently. I think this desk and I might be prepared to take it to the next level, if you know what I mean.
So what have you been working on?
Be courteous. Be kind.
Rewind. Follow the Rules.
1. Your entry MUST BE A FURNITURE MAKEOVER OR BUILD.

LOVE it! What a great color! I like the lion head pulls too. I would definitely keep that one too.
My furniture sadly isn't done yet. I am having just a horrible time stripping it. Do you know if crackle finish is hard to strip? I have tried two times with the citrus acid strip and it just doesn't want to come up. sigh....
This little piece is one of my favorites! Great color choice!!
Oh I love that colour!!! That would look perfect in my entryway....

That color is amazing! I'm never totally sure what qualifies as "furniture" so let me know if mine have to be deleted :P Thanks for hosting!
i love love love that blue!
SOOOOO cute!!!!!! IN LOVE! Those Lion's head pulls are so adorable and the gold truly makes the desk! Great job!
Thanks for hosting!!! Love this blue you are using and the lion head pulls are classic!
Love it! Those pulls are awesome, and they go perfectly with the piece.
What a cute desk in such a pretty color! You will not be bringing this home from Lucketts!
Love the desk!! I'm pretty sure I've never linked the headboard here before..but I will remove it if I have.
Those pulls are awesome. Perfect for this desk.
Thanks for hosting :)
I love it...and the drawer inside is awesomely gorgeous! wish I had something to link up...*sad face* maybe next week
Beautiful!! The paper and the pulls are perfect. I thought of linking up my storage cubes but I wasn't sure if you would consider them furniture ;-)
Oh I love this...I would have grabbed it in a heartbeat. Perfect color you chose for it and the drawer lining brings it all together!
What a great color! I have a desk/vanity to work on and you inspired me and now I know what color I will be using. I also love the lion head pulls!
Dude! You NEED to keep that gorgeous little desk (& yes, I'm a CA girl and we say dude, ha ha). It's so so pretty :)
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!! I may sneak into your house and steal that puppy before Lucketts! AWESOME!!
I love the Newburg Green, it is a fabulous color. The lion head pulls are perfect.Thanks for hosting!
What a cool piece and I love the color you painted it! So glad to have found your party!
Thanks for hosting

Oh I DO love a good lion head pull!!! Love the paint color too! Fabulous job! Thanks for hosting the par-tay-tay!
Cassie, I FINALLY figured out how to link to your party! Mine is #23. I know, I'm a little slow. I have copied and pasted your button, but I'm not sure how to put it on my post? So...if you have VERY EASY directions for me I might be able to do it! P.S. LOVE your little table.
That is beautiful! Beautiful color and beautiful lion pulls. I think that one might need to be a keeper!
Love, love, love the "new" desk! And I wouldn't blame you if you "accidentally" forgot to bring it with you to Luckett's and then had to keep it for yourself ;)
I LOVED Holly Hobbie and I think you should have kept the paper in the drawer because it would have matched the new color you painted perfectly!
anyway, I love what you have done and you never cease to amaze me with your choice and stash of knobs....
Take care,
Lisa
ps....I don't think I have done any furniture in the past few days, so I am going to go see what I linked up to your party last week...Maybe I'll link Sami's armoire this week????
Great little table! Gorgeous color and love the hardware. We have the very same ones on our Shay Desk. Amazing!
sooo sweet..love it...color is just dreamy...so perfect for the piece...fondly julie

Your table sure is a cutie!
I love your desk! Gorgeous!
Oooh I wish I could have been at that auction! Love the color and matching wallpaper. And the lion knobs make it really special. It'll definitely sell at Lucketts!
I'm diggin on that color :) -and the lions heads! not something you could use on just anything, nice choice.
what an awesome color... love it!!!
I love your makeover and even more the inside of the drawer! I'm a sucker for small details :)
Love it!
I really love the color of this! It's such a great size too. I haven't done any furniture in so long. I think I need to.
I am a follower, but cannot for the life of me figure out how to put buttons on my blog pages. I have slaved over this one, gone to the forums, etc. Do you know of a good tutorial on how to put other blog buttons on my blog? btw....when I saw "Lucketts" I about fainted. Miss Mustard Seed is my inspiration for starting my blog and I KNOW you know her because of Lucketts. :)
Love the pulls & the knobs!! Perfection! Just joined the party & wish I had thought of it sooner.
I adore this! Those handles are great! I love that color too!
LOVE the color & finish on that piece!! As usual, you are the queen of color :)

Cassie, you are the best color-picker. EVAH.
I'm a new follower because you have the CUTEST furniture facelifts. I actually just started my very first re-do today and loved all of the ideas of how I can refinish them from your blog. Thanks!
