Zebra theme...

It seems zebras might be our favourite animals, at least if you gauge interest by the amount of painting we have done in the last few years adhering to a zebra theme. A few years ago, Brian and Cora painted our gate with an awesome zebra design. Then I added a few zebra pillowcases into the mix of pillows in our living room. Over the past few weeks, we have taken an old writing desk and given it new life with colour and a continuation of the zebra motif. It was a lot of fun to add some funkiness to an old and nondescript piece of furniture and I find myself looking sideways at several other pieces in our house. Perhaps a new hobby is emerging. Below are photos that feature the before, during and after versions of the desk.
