Desk Before & After

Remember this free desk I found on the side of the road ages ago? Well it's been sitting finished in my garage just waiting for me to take photos for you. I finally did so. :)
Here's a reminder of what it looked like before...free sign and all.

 Don't mind my weeds. :)
And here it is now. Nothing too over the top exciting but enough to make one little girl happy. I spray painted the desk in Krylon Ballet Slipper pink and the chair is from this post. The chair I found with the desk isn't very stable so the toddler chair will have to work until I find something better. It's a tad too short. The knob was a $1.50 at Hobby Lobby during their half off knob sale.
