Little Red Desk from Goodwill

Howdy!

Its about time  I show you this little gem. Well, she is to me. Found her at my local Goodwill a while back and brought her home. I don't even know why I like her so much. I have always wanted something red, but in that old, worn look. That was before I got hold of a can of red spray paint and painted every other thing in my living area red.... You can read about it here .

        Plus she was only $11.00, so, to me, it was a no-brainer. 

 I just sanded her a little bit,and changed the drawer pull, because for now, I love her just the way she is.            (Was it Lionel Richie who sang that song?)

And this is what she looks like now all dressed up for Fall.

Notice my version of the "cheese-dome turned into cloche"? I just glued an old stand of a hurricane that broke , to the wooden base of a cheese dome.All of course thrift store finds. I will probably paint it later,  but for this display I liked it in the brown. Inside is some Chinese Moss and two white round seed-things that looked like they could be eggs, to me. The little bird was from Dollar Tree, spray painted Heirloom White.

              I put some more candles and leaves in an old birdcage I have had for years.

 On the right is another Gorilla Glue Project, where I painted a candle base black and glued it to a vase.
Again...thrift store finds.

 Some more Dollar Tree pumpkins on candlesticks....and a metallic pumpkin from Ross.

The silver cock in the frame my mom bought for me in South Africa many, many years ago.

There you have it! Eleven dollar table, and my second Fall vignette.

What do you think? How would you change this little table up if she was yours?

Remember, I love your comments!!
