Hi there friends...
I hope you all had a nice weekend!
~~~
A few weeks ago when I showed you my new canvas hanging on the right...I gave you a little peek of what else came home with me...it was this pretty antique writing desk.
My heart started to flutter when I spotted it...
I knew exactly where it would go!
The price was right so home it came:-)
Remember the round skirted table that I had here before...

...well that was moved to a new location!
I filled the slots with vintage books...added a few of my favorite decorating books...a magnifying glass and this little blue and white piece that's been in my family for years.
On the top I used one of my fruit plates and an old brass bell that I found one day antiquing.
I needed a piece to fill in this corner...and this desk did the trick!
Thanks so much for stopping by...
have a great week!

What a great find, Martina! I have a weakness for secretary desks and this looks perfect in that spot!

Beautiful writing desk and "I can see why your heart went pitapat. It is the perfect location for it. Like it much better than the round table. Great items on the desk also.

Love the writing desk? What kind of plant is that?

this is really perfect for that corner, Martina, it gives that space more definition, love it!!
Hi Martina! Oh, I love it! Of course you've decorated her most beautifully! I found a similar one last fall except it doesn't have drawers all the way down. I love it that yours has those drawers. Now, the question - are you going to paint it? ;)
Be a sweetie,
Shelia :)
Oh gosh, Martina, your new desk is so good - what a beautiful addition to that corner. Such a fun piece to accessorize! Jane

My father had an more rustic version, but sister was the lucky recipient of it.
Great find and it looks great in the corner. Not only beautiful but functional!
Pretty Martina and I love the sun streaming in the window. We haven't seen the sun in a few days
