  1. I love it too. I bought a white campaign desk and dresser for my daughter about 15 years ago at a resale shop and still have them. I didn’t even know what it was called until recently when I started seeing it all over. I thought to myself, “Oh, that’s what style that is.”

  2. I would love to know what kind and color of paint you used on the Target furniture. Just love the colors.

  3. You always make me WANT to do a make over on some piece of furniture or lamp I’ve found at a yard sale or estate sale, Lesli. But then I don’t. It seems too involved. I don’t feel confident it will turn out as fabulous as your makeovers do. Why not give us a few more tutorials with step-by-step photos + instructions on how to spray paint a bookshelf or desk?! You could set up a challenge for us: “Do a Makeover with Lesli” step-by-step and then we could all send photos of our completed makeovers to you to post! Or maybe you could just come over and help me do a project or two 😉 Thanks for the gorgeous inspiration!

    1. Jane…Thank you so much for reminding me to include you guys and yes…I will do a tutorial…I confess I have been wondering if anyone is listening and I should have realized you guys are!!! Stay tuned….will you help me get “listeners’?
