POWW 88

Happy POWW!  Yard sale season has treated me well so far... how about you?  This past weekend I found several awesome furniture pieces while Gwen was here.  She needs to come back and bring me some more good luck. :)

Today I am over at the DIY Club sharing a cute little vintage desk makeover.  It, of course, was a recent yard sale find.  I used milk paint and golden oak briwax, so be sure to check it out.  For now, here is a quick before and after...

Cassie that dijon yellow is perfectly aged and really makes the hardware pop. Beautiful work.

Oh, how I love garage sale season! My husband actually found the dresser I linked today at a garage sale a few weeks ago. The legs on your desk are so cool. I've never seen one like that.

Linda @ it all started with paint said...

Alas, another week with no furniture project! But I did spot a beagle in submission #8 ... too cute!

And your dresser is amazing.

And I'm so jealous that you got to hang out with the fantabulous funny Gwen!

:)

On a separate note (and perhaps an offline -- or off comments thread conversation -- how did you hook up with The DIY Club?

Melissa @ No. 2 Pencil said...

I love the yellow!!! So awesome!

And I finally have something to link up:0) Woohoo!

Sonya Sosa said...

Cassie, great color! As always, it turned out beautiful. Also, a big thanks for hosting, love linking up, BUT this time, not sure if it's part of the linky party rules "WE SHOULD OBVIOUSLY KNOW". I did not take before pics (can we say brain fart, lol), so no hurt feelings if I need to be deleted. Ha! There is always next time. I'm the not-so-smart #29. Refinished Hutch gal.

Rosemary@villabarnes said...

I've been having fun at garage sales, estate sales, and flea markets. Great color on the desk. Thanks for hosting.

Tiffany said...

I love that yellow! I'm working on a desk right now, but not quite done yet.

Cassie, your vintage desk is gorgeous! You always choose the best colors!

I've never used milk paint. How do you like it compared to latex and chalk pain? It looks great- I love the finish!

Carrie @ Hazardous Design said...

I NEVER would have thought to paint a piece of furniture that shade of yellow. Looks like I need to think outside of the box from now on. Looks awesome!

Heather @ The JUNKtion said...

Oh how the yellow just pops (in such a perfect way).

Lisa Scibilia said...

Ahhhh I love the yellow desk! So happy!

Allison said...

Beautiful Cassie! That is a great shade of yellow. I think yellow pieces always bring a bit of "happy" to a room. You did a fabulous job as always.

Good Time Charlie said...

Nothing to share but I sure do love the Yellow you used on that cute desk. What a find! The legs are the best part!

Drama Mama Lori said...
