French Country Dressing Table

I got this old mid-century side desk for free from an office that was closing. It had been in the basement and was headed to the garbage. I thought with the right top, I could turn this into a dressing table to match a chair I had recently reupholstered.

So I found this dresser top on Craigslist. I think it's a great start. The top was nice wood but the old desk was a mix of wood and laminate. The desk was in much worse shape than the top.

With a little bit of elbow grease, paint and stenciling this piece just came alive.

And it matched the chair perfectly. It's now in my daughter's bedroom and she loves it. I think the dressing table is happier, too. LOL
