Chippy Black Desk

I was out shopping a couple weeks ago with some friends. We stopped in at a new antique/vintage store that opened up recently and I spotted an amazing chippy black desk. The tag said it was from the 1920's which made it even more appealing to me for some reason. The price was great and I just had to have it! It had a nice industrial vibe and I thought it would look so great in my booth, so I bought it! 

On Saturday, I had fun working on a styling plan for my booth display. This is what I came up with!! 

 
 It's all so quirky and fun! 

























And just check out all that chippiness!! Who can resist a good chippy piece of furniture like this?!?

 



I spotted this bust of Wagner at a thrift store recently and brought him home and painted him white. I have no idea if he will even sell, but he was just too cool to pass up! 

 



The hands are another thrift store find. They are salt and pepper shakers that I also painted white. 


I love that I didn't have to do a thing to the desk and the chippy look was authentic and time worn! 

I'm linking to the parties listed HERE and to:
