Red Riding Hood Desk for My Little Red Riding Hood

My daughters birthday was coming up and she wanted a red desk. After searching for what seemed like forever, I finally found one I thought I could paint into something she'd love. I loved adding the hand painted doodads and the vibrant knobs.
Think outside the box also when picking hardware too. This had no drawer pill on it and when I went looking one pull didn't stand out from the others but three did so I put them all on! A common thread, each knob had a brass center, helps make it more cohesive.
Thats' when the hand painting came into my head and it pulled it all together.
She loved it….best compliment ever.

I used MMSMP in Tricycle for the red base
I then added a tangerine, bright yellow, and sea glass blue for the detailed doo-dads

How do you slide a chair under it? Pretty but not too practical.

Beautiful work! Something she can keep and pass down.
