Decorating With Antique School Desks

I love the antique school desks I've collected
over the years when we lived near Chicago.
I knew I'd find a place to use them in Florida

They are a great accent piece that can 

add a little personality in any room.

Here's one in the bathroom holding a 

Longaberger basket and stack of towels.

I dress it up for Christmas.

I also have one in the entry way. Another

Longaberger basket on top holds things that

need to go out...like videos and books for 

the library. It also holds Lucy's leash and

a kleenex box stuffed with plastic bags

for doggie pick-ups.

The front seat is a landing spot for

my purse or whatever I'm bringing in.

It gets dressed up for Christmas too.

It's on the other side of the mirror

and entry table, next the half wall.

This one is in the back of the family room. 

It usually holds a stack of afghans 

and a few baskets. 

Love the old wrought iron scrolls and the 

hole for the inkwell. The book shelf is a

great little spot when I've used the desk

as an end table or bedside table. You can

run your cords through the inkwell.

I change the afghans and baskets

for the seasons.

Dressed for Christmas.

This little desk  and chair was a hit with

 the grandkids when they were little.
It's been used as an end table and a
favorite spot for coloring. 

Cheers!
