White wooden desk with lid - seen one anywhere?

DD1 (5.5y) wants a desk for her bedroom. I'm thinking white to match her room, with an old-style hinged lid so that she can store stuff in it. Hopefully a matching chair.

Not too teeny/child-sized as I don't want to have to buy another one in a few years' time!

Old school desks are at every secondhand shop and flea market in the country. I'd just buy an old one and paint it.

That looks good MMJ. Yeah you're right 9dragons - the question is have I got the energy ...

That's the beauty of vintage - you can get away with quite a shoddy paint job

I got one very similar from Great Little Trading Company. Its comes with a stool and under the hinge lid is a heart shaped mirror, We use our as a dressing table but prefect for a 5 year old.
