vintage secretary

A few weeks ago I stumbled across this adorable little secretary desk while shopping with a friend. I left the store without it and couldn't stop thinking about it, I knew I had to have it. My friend very kindly went to pick it up for me! Here she was.. in all her red glory. The actual color wasn't horrible, obviously not my style but the paint job was disastrous!



She got a few coats of gray primer, black paint, and some gorgeous glass knobs from Anthropologie.

Ahh. So much better. I think I may just hang onto this one. At least for a bit ;)
