Strip it, paint it the color of your office or living room and pile idea books in it. (At least that's what I"m doing with the one I just inherited!) :)

ooo, ooo, ooo! One of my friend's up here just came home with one! I fell in love the second I saw it and my mind went racing. I'm not sure if I'd alter it with pp and Mod Podge, bring out my trusty ol paint pens from college, or what! Can't wait to see what you come up with! ;)

The wood grain is so beautiful. Unless there is lots of damage to the finish, I would leave it. It's gorgeous.

Wow!! I would paint it a pretty apple red color and use it for photos! =)

well, that depends. if i was going to use it for my house i would leave it and use it as a little table somewhere. knowing me though, i'd paint it red and use it as a photography prop. thanks for the idea.:)

my first impression is to leave the desktop natural and paint the rest a really fun color...I love red or apple green! Maybe even a turquoise!!
all the other ideas are great, too!

either leave it just like it is (most likely what i would do), or paint it robin's egg blue. love it, gretchen!

Give it to my dear friend Janna! NO, I would probably go with a primary color for sure. Like blue. Or red would be awesome. Probably red. You could paint it before you gave it to me. That would so sweet!

I would leave it as it is and display it in the living room.

i would so paint it.... love the red idea... or dark chocolate brown...

i would probably put mini albums on a basket on the seat and use the "desk" part as a little table... little lamp... some fun stuff...

great find!

I would leave it alone! If the pic is true to detail, then I'd leave it as it is and just accessorize it. Drape a colorful quilt over it. Display some cute little books on it. What are ya gonna use it for anyway, Hoffy?

mary h. said...

OH! Btw, I looked and looked for your wine recommendation up here and can't find it stinkin' anywhere!

ummmmm.... if i was 8 years old i would do my math, science and social studies on it but if it were in my house today..... i would probably use it as a planter/corner decor thingy.....

melissa said...

oh i so want one!! i'd leave the base natural and paint the top a funky color and draw something crazy on it. then i'd put it on my front porch with a cutsy potted plant on the seat! PERFECT!!!

metrochic said...

Grace said...
