Christmas break project

This week has been a week of projects and transformations! I think I've worked harder being off work this week than when I'm actually at work! I'm ready to go back to work so I can have a break! Ha... 

Anyway, my husband found this desk and chair on a local resale page, and when I saw it, I knew I had to have it! It's a genuine antique! All I did with the desk was coat it with lemon oil. The wood was too beautiful to paint.

Then, I decided to paint the chair and recover the cushion. It was pretty bad! 

Here is the before:

The finished product! The pictures do NOT do these beauties justice!

Thanks for visiting!
