Furniture fit for a Princess!

I have been trying to re-do my daughter room for over a year now. 
Why do something today that you can put off to another day right! 
I am almost done and I wanted to show you her up-cycled
furniture that has been given a new life.

This is the before. 

Unfortunately I don't have a picture of the desk.  But it was the same color.

Both pieces were purchased at a furniture consignment shop for $40 each.

Each piece was sanded and painted with 3 coats of Valspar's Swiss Coffee.

Minwax Finishing Paste was the final step.

The hardware on the desk was found at Lowe's for $6 each.

The frame was found at a thrift store for $4!

I still have a chair to finish and recover, the frame will hold a bulletin board,

I need new lamps and a chandelier.

I have some really fun artwork that I will reveal this week.

 And of course I did this very in-expensively.

Hopefully all will be done by Valentines day!

Let me know what you think!
