Teenage Horse Lover
This horse-loving teenage girl wanted to theme her room on a budget.
The existing timber furniture pieces in the room inspired some shopping trips to second-hand furniture shops to find a desk to match. I purchased the old desk for $25, gave it a sand, replaced the knobs and then sketched a horse face onto the surface. I then painted the horse and purposely left the sketch lines for a bit of artistic interest. Finally, I gave it some coats of varnish and it matched the room perfectly.
I purchased a vintage saddle and then found an old desk chair that had a nice, wide and supportive base.
Once the chair was removed I pinned a rounded timber piece on the legs and upholstered it with some foam and grey material. The horse saddle was then pinned to the upholstered timber with an upholstery gun.
A bit of fun with this funky horse glasses holder on the bedside table.
A few horse themed accessories tied it all together nicely. A perfect little reading space at the end of the bed finished the room.
