Awhile back I posted this picture on twitter hinting at my next little project. The project has been done for awhile so it's time for the big reveal! Each year my Advanced Culinary class participates in a culinary competition called Platinum Chef. At last years competition my team placed first; it was one of the best days ever. Since then I have been dreaming of possibilities for my team this year. A couple months back, I came across this old desk at a second hand store. With a price tag of only $40, I knew I couldn't pass it up! I decided to paint the desk white to match our theme for the competition. I used Rust-oleum Linen White chalkpaint ($15 at Home Depot). It required minimal prep work and no sanding! One fairly heavy coat later and we had this! I decided I didn't love the original knobs I purchased once I discovered these at TJ Maxx. The drawer pull/knob selection at TJ Maxx and Home Goods can be very hit or miss but when you do fine them, they are super cute and very reasonably priced (these were only $6 for the whole set). Once the desk was dry, it made the trip back to school to be used in our Kate Spade inspired brunch set-up. The competition was a huge success and my culinary team placed first again this year. They also received the award for best table display presentation. I am so proud of them and all their hard work! Now that competition is over, the desk will find a permanent home in my craft room. Enjoy some pictures from our competition and remember, brunch is always a good idea.
