Garden and Easel Art Studio

I had too much fun turning this vintage desk into something worthy of any little girl's bedroom. It's painted with a hint of pink and  I used antiquing wax to highlight the details. The desk is from a line of furniture called Harmony House . It was offered by Sears from 1940 to 1968. Click on the link to learn more.  The desk is a kneehole style. Read more about kneehole desks  here . I tried this new Cabinet and Furniture paint from Valspar and I was really impressed with its performance. It still took three coats of paint to cover the dark wood. 😏 It has a semi-gloss sheen with built in sealant. Loved that!  Maverick likes it too. I can't wait to see who ends up with this gorgeous desk and its matching chair and rug.            Offered at $350     (includes desk, chair, rug and ballerina mouse) Desk is 30"Hx44"Wx23"D,  Chair is 33"Hx17"Wx18"D,  Rug is 3'

Springtime lags here on the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee; but we can always count on these showstoppers to ring in the season.  Here are a few early bloomers (he he) from my little garden near Holiday Lake.   "Flowers don't tell, they show." ~Stephanie Skeem What's Blooming May 2020 Delphinium, Magic Fountains Lupine, Russell Hybrid Perennial Geranium, Cransbill Perennial Cornflower, Centaurea Montana  Pincushion Flower, Scabiosa Bearded Iris Speedwell, Veronica Tall Garden Phlox, Phlox Paniculata Cat Mint, Nepeta Faassenii
