Hello everyone! Saturday was fabulous, everything went so well and all the work around here was well worth it, I have a few, not alot, of pictures that I’ll show in another post, I was just to busy with things to take alot of them.
This is one thing I did complete before the wedding/picnic…my desk that Mr.K bought me for our 5th anniversary off of CL! I used the paint that I already had on hand Cottage White and Jade Bath.
Here is the Before
It’s the first time I’ve ever tried doing drawers a different paint color then the rest of something so I thought I’d give it a try and if I didn’t like it I could always paint it the Cottage White like I was going to in the first place…so here it is! I think it turned out so nice and pretty, after I painted it I used my detailed sander and then did a thin coat of mocha glaze, after that I used a clear wax on it. I hesitated painting the hardware on it but to me they were outdated and thought they could use some prettying up! I love how they turned out!
I love it!
I still need to find the right chair for it, there is one in the basement that is a desk chair that was Mr.K’s mother’s and it has a spindle back on it and a seat that would need covered so I may do that one.
When I first showed this desk in a post on here, someone said that it was a vanity not a desk so I looked on the back to see if there were holes for a mirror and they were right it is a vanity! The guy on CL said it was a desk so that’s okay, it’s working for me and now my diningroom table is cleared off and not cluttered anymore so it’s worked out great! The bedroom is still a work in progress I’ve had my shabby chic curtains for months but just got around to buying the curtain rods this past week but I think Mr.K needs a rest before I ask him to put up curtain rods! What do you think should I let him rest at least a week or what? LOL

The desk is fabulous! You did a great job on it.
And yes, I guess you have to give your husband a rest. At least for a few hours, right? ;D
You did a wonderful job on that desk! I like the two-tone color treatment. :)

I LOVE how it turned out! Does it call out to you as you pass by in the hall way?
