Zoe ~ White Desk with Zebra Knobs

HI ♥ I know I've neglected my blog for too long so I'm baaack and happy to be here.  I've had several projects going on, which as always, is a wonderful thing.  The problem is, since I paint every piece by hand, it takes alot of time and effort.  O.K. ~ the latest experiement is a desk.  When I picked this piece up, I had already seen it on C/L but wasn't interested.  I originally went to pick up another piece (MIMOSA ~ which will come later).  This little desk was wild looking to say the least ~ black with blotches of red ~ again, wild.  Anyway, I decided to go ahead and pick it up ~ she had potential. Here she is BEFORE
O.K., I didn't see that it was U.G.L.Y., it was sort of cute but I personally didn't care for it.  I was looking for more of a shabby chic with a little safari flair to it.  So, of course, I went with a white (actually vintage linen) and added new zebra knobs ~ and here is ZOE now:

Thanks for stopping by ♥
