Smart Girl Navy Blue Desk and Chair

This rare executive desk gets a posh makeover for a stylish, ‘can’t wait to use it everyday’ home office. I’ve never seen a vintage double sided desk in a smaller size before let alone one with twisted wood detail around the top.

It was shoved against the wall when I found it so I didn’t see that the back was finished until I got it home to paint. That means it can be placed in a room facing the door. Can you see it? This desk frees you from facing the wall and gives some breathing room.

Work Plus Style

KellaChic looks to do a little more than solid color furniture make-overs. The back of the desk is a blank canvas to add lots of embellishments like decoupage, transfers and/or, paper clay details. I’m practicing restraint lately. Though the possibilities are plentiful, color blending alone gives enough style and wow factor. The base color is Naval (using my personal paint recipe). Side and back panels are blended using Vermont Slate, a yummy deep teal used on this cedar chest.
