Sewing Table

This past weekend I helped my brother clean out his garage. We had a load of garbage that needed to go to the dump. As we were unloading, the couple in the truck next to us threw a gorgeous little vanity/desk onto the ground.

When I saw it soaring through the air, I thought it was missing the drawers which was no biggy, I could just use baskets. So I got up the nerve and asked the lady if I could have it. She said of course and that the drawers were even in the pile of junk somewhere. YAY! I jumped up and down and giggled, literally.

Unfortunately, this drew the attention of the mean dump man that told me I wasn't allowed to take it because it had touched the ground and was now company property. After I mutely told him what I thought about the company and made a pretty mean face at him, he said he would just turn his head. Long story short I'm now the proud owner of a cute little desk.

It was originally going to be for my daughter, but then I was reminded of this goal. I am now one step closer. At least now I have a sewing desk.

Before:

It was pretty banged up and had paint chipped all over. It was also really dirty. Stuff was splattered on it and there were so many spiderwebs I had to give myself a pep talk to touch it. But after a few coats of paint and my cute little orphan chair {the chair doesn't tuck in all the way, but I kinda like it hanging out like that}, I think it looks pretty nice. I was so excited I forgot to take the picture right away and started on a quilt.
