Y’all. This was a feat.

Purchased her at an auction, sight unseen. She looks pink, right? Had a vision: keep it pink, add a shelf and some pink wallpaper, maybe some distressing. Done.

She was red. Really red and in need of TLC. Structurally sound, good bones, but a total eyesore.

But here she is now! What a perfect piece for just about anywhere!

Color: Green Balsam (Behr)
Top: Sunbleached & Aging Wax
K***s: Amazon
