I sure hope your not getting tired of seeing the dumpster desk, it’s taking so long to complete what with being sick and then lack of energy. I do want to thank each one of you who commented for your get well wishes, brought a smile to my face and I think that is so important when you aren’t feeling well. Now I’m feeling better so I did manage to finish (all except for the waxing, which I do not like to do) the desk.
I think she turned out adorable and I can’t wait to start using her.
I had the two glass knobs and I’m thinking of going with the cup handles for the three drawers like I have on my kitchen drawers.
Hard to believe it’s the same desk that I dragged out of a college dumpster! There was not a thing wrong with her that a little paint wouldn’t fix!
I have also been playing around on the bookshelves and referring to my Pinterest board Shelf Styling here if you would like to take a look at my pins. Having these boards have really helped me with trying getting it right.
I moved my GW basket onto the shelves with the green apples that I bought at Walmart for a $1.00 a piece and you also can see Miss Mustard Seeds book “Inspired You” which I love!
I’m painting the hoosier now, this is just the first coat!
Thanks so much for stopping by, always enjoy your visits and comments. Oh, did you watch Downton Abbey last night? Loved it!
I’ll be joining these great parties, stop by each one and get some inspiration!

I'm glad you are on the mend Rondell. I always love seeing glass knobs on furniture, and I'm loving the pretty wire basket of green apples. Looks like you have made good use of your time even if you have been under the weather. Have a great week!
I love the desk, it really has turned out great! And the GW basket is so cute!
Keep feeling better!

Rondell that desk looks fabulous and I love the glass knobs!! Glad your feeling better:)
Rondell, I love the color you chose for this desk. And the knobs are adorable. I'm so curious about the original state of this desk. I'm going to have to go exploring while i'm here.

Sorry to hear you weren't feeling well. Glad you are back in the swing of things. Looks like your hard work on the desk paid off. It's beautiful. Love that you salvaged it. Nice work. I'm with you on the waxing. I think it's a pain. I tend to procrastinate on that final step. Sometimes way too long. Hope you can get it done!

The desk looks even prettier now! And those touches of lime green on the shelves are perfect for spring!
Your desk turned out great....love those little glass knobs! Glad you are feeling better too :o)

This is gorgeous, I can't believe someone threw it away. What a find and transformation. I am going over to check out your shelf styling board. What a great idea.
