Party On

We’ve finished the desk! I was hoping to give you a before and after this weekend. Here was the before… And here is the after… Ahhh isn’t that knob so much better?? I put up my bird picture holder just so I can have something on the desk for now. We haven’t touched the wall paint yet so our paintings and mirrors aren’t up. I needed something to look at for now y’all. I seriously can’t tell you how comfy that chair is. I’m glad we had some leftover gold paint from the bathroom remodel (saved us $5). I feel like it ties the chair in and makes the wicker baskets pop. I probably should’ve removed the existing backboard in order to get a really smooth surface, but I actually kind of like the divots. Gives it some character.  Overall the desk cost me $83 $15 for a quart of green paint at Home Depot $25 on baskets from Michael's $5 knob from Home Depot $48 for the desk from Salvation Army Hey-  not too bad. Back before pinterest, when I was in my teens, I would cut ...

Oh my goodness this weekend has been SO busy so far. I just want to sit down and turn into a carrot. On the plus side, the busyness has mostly been fun. Josh and I ran and bought paint for our room (finally!). We also picked up some new curtains and a $50 corner desk from Salvation Army to use as a ‘craft table’ for me. I’ve already started on renovating the desk but have hit a major setback, as the gold spray paint I picked up at Home Depot was actually…. gasp - silver. Eh- tomorrow’s another day. Here’s some before pictures. Bear with me- I know it’s ugly but I have plans I tell you. And yes- the knob will go.   I already grabbed a comfortable chair from Home Goods and some baskets from Michael’s (they have a sale right now! Go!) for the desk. Next up- a mirror, pillow, and painting to add some much needed color to our mostly gray pallet.We ordered some dog kennel covers a month ago and they should be in soon.I can’t wait to finish our room. I’m hoping to have it done before ...
