Long overdue

I don't know why I always end up painting walls and furniture, rather than the canvases I have stacked in my art cupboard, but somehow I do. This desk was bought about a year ago for $20, brown, old, scratched, and it's been stuck in the corner of Zoe's room since then. I finally had the inspiration to work on it, and it sanded up easily with a belt sander, after I screwed up my courage enough to switch that monster on. I primed it, painted it a soft white, and then distressed it with the same pale pink that's on Zoe's walls (somewhat hard to see in the pictures).

I think it's sweet, at least for a little girl for now.
