  1. Love the desk!! Where is the rug from??

    1. Thanks Kelly and I probably should include that in the post shouldn’t I 😉 It’s from Urban Outfitters

    2. I updated my post and included a link.

    1. Thanks Cassie, those are still the colors I bought at Sweet Clover a long time ago 😉

  2. I wasn’t sure I liked your choice of blue, until I saw the interior painted in the contrasting coral. I love it!!!!

    1. I’m glad you like it with the pink 😉 thanks

    Beautiful piece!! Love the surprise of pink when you open the desk up!

    1. That pink is my favorite. I used it on some pumpkins two years ago too. And thanks!

    Lucky you for finding such a nice piece of furniture! And beautiful remake, too!

  5. very nice!I have an antique oak (dark) dresser with attached oval mirror that I have been thinking about painting (as a newbie) with Annie Sloan chalk paint as well. The front of the drawers have some detail work… from your experience how easy is it to paint ?

    1. Hi Carol and thanks so much. I do have to tell you that it’s the easiest paint with ever. It really is. It’s so much harder to paint with oil paint and other paints. And since you can sand it easily you can fix mistakes during your first time painting. Good luck!

  6. Oh my goodness those colors are so unexpected together but so, so pretty! I actually really love the contrast between the desk and your other decor. Makes for a really interesting space.

  7. Oh that colour combination is inspired and it works so beautifully with that little rug!! Gorgeous! xxx

    1. Thank you! I guess I’m feeling the blue and pink in all shades since the patio style challenge

    1. I really wanted to stain it but it was just too messed up. Thanks

  8. Julia! Its sooo pretty! I LOVE the pop of blush inside. I still have never tried chalk paint. Maybe one day…

    1. You must try!!!! And thanks!
