(Uncharitable thoughts from me ... sorry.)<br /><br />The desk. If it were me, I would keep it and paint it white or some other color that matches her room. Then I would mod podge the door fronts with cool scrapbook paper or fabric and I would update the hardware OR I would make ribbon handles.

If you like the dark wood for your Evie, then get some new pulls and knobs that look like these:<br /><br />http://www.restorationhardware.com/rh/catalog/product/product.jsp?productId=prod1278131&navCount=1<br /><br />and these:<br />http://www.restorationhardware.com/rh/catalog/product/product.jsp?productId=prod1278129&navCount=3<br /><br />There are some more inexpensive looking ones at Home Depot, or online. RH is expensive. <br /><br />Or you could paint it white, pink, green, whatever. But still update the knobs and pulls. <br /><br />Can't wait to see what you do !<br /><br />KateKate Riley https://www.blogger.com/profile/12505826655649361222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386400953915493212.post-6200941194774860142009-06-28T13:55:46.316-07:002009-06-28T13:55:46.316-07:00It is unfortunate that "white glove delivery&...It is unfortunate that "white glove delivery" is never what they say it is...<br /><br />That said, I think you should keep the desk and fix it up the way you want it!! can't wait to see the final results!<br /><br />~BeccaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09116026852097580008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386400953915493212.post-68902255432012267402009-06-28T07:02:14.582-07:002009-06-28T07:02:14.582-07:00It'll look great!

I got a great deal on a chair last year. I saw it at the local dump site. Someone put it beside the dumpster thinking that someone else might want it. I saw the quality right away so I picked it up and put it in the truck. It was from Hickory Nc and it is cherry in a Queen Ann style. It only had a small rip in the seat. I can have that fixed. :)Greg Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01925817439493420666noreply@blogger.com
