So this was a ho-hum desk. It was given to me several years ago when I started college. It is a very sturdy desk, foundationally sound, just drab. I sat around several nights while watching tv contemplating how I was going to do this desk. Did I want it white like everything else? Its home is in the living room, but I just didn't think white was in this desk's future. It came to me one night during an episode of Ace of Cakes! The desk was going to be red. I would replace the hardware, I could see it in my head and just couldn't wait to get started. So one day Jennifer and I set out to change this desk from drab to fab..... Here's the new hardware. Hello! You are so snazzy! I love you! And there is the finished project! A happy desk- a desk that says come to me, sit here, you know you want to. The color I picked was Glidden Candy Apple. I'll have to be sure to take a pic of the desk in its location when that corner is put back together. Right now I'm giving the desk plenty of time to dry and bask in its glory before putting stuff back on it. ;)
Total Time: About 8 hours Total Cost: $20 for supplies. (Paint, Poly, and hardware)
Well if you are here you probably know me. If you don't know me- I am a stay at home mom to four kids. Sadie-8, Connor-7, Tandee Grace-5, and Matthew 2. My life is busy busy. I live with my family in the Dallas/Ft Worth area.
I stay at home currently and that may or may not change in the future. I will have three kids in school this fall. I am redecorating my home on a less than shoe string budget.
This is my life....I wouldn't have it any other way.
Looks great! I love the red! Can't wait to see where you put it and how you accessorize. :-)
