Petree Repurposed is Born

Petree Repurposed was founded after I painted a little desk I got at an auction for $25. It turned out so cute that I thought--"I can do this". I love auctions and love to create. Mostly I love to find new homes of old furniture that is...repurposed just like me.

With all of Petree Repurposed painted furniture, the price of the item depends on several factors-the cost of the item unfinished, the paint/supplies, the number of drawers-which drives the number of cute decorative knobs, and the amount of work it will take to make it look professionally done. These are handpainted so not as perfect as a spray job, but are very nicely done. All pieces are sanded and painted with high quality Benjamin Moore paints.

This is a picture of the first desk I sold. It was a petite little girl and could double as a vanity. The desk was painted this fun blue with crystal knobs. It had a lot of interest and sold for full price at $135. This the cheapest desk I did. I really didn't make that much, but it was a good test of Craig's list and the interest level.


















Pretty cute, huh?
