Student Desk



Well, I just can't seem to shake this cold...it's a good think I spent a long weekend two weeks ago working on so many projects, and last weekend moving everything into my new shed, and clear out my work space. I feel like I haven't left my sofa since, during free time - I hate head colds!

So here is one of my projects that I did before I got sick...transforming this little student desk. I almost ruined it trying to figure out how to use a paint sprayer (which I never did learn how to use), so I'm very happy to have it finished!















The den is still being transformed...I sold the coffee table in the picture & temporarily replaced it with the square Ikea table (which will most likely get a "farm table make-over" in the near future). I'm working on window treatments & wall decor, but I'm pretty pleased so far - it is very toned-down from vibrant reds in addition to the yellow.

Hope you all have a great week!

  1. I hope you can shake this thing soon. I never seem to get head colds, or even colds for that matter. Knock on wood!

  2. I hope you feel better soon! I hate being sick.

    That little table looks so wonderful now all fresh with new paint! I've been thinking of buying a Ryobi paint sprayer to use on furniture.

  4. Your desk looks great. There is nothing like a fresh coat of white. I hope you feel better soon. Cold season is upon us, sniff.

  5. So cute! Great job. :)
    Just found your blog - I'm also 45 and a vintage and flea fan. My sis and I actually just opened our own booth as a baby step toward opening a brick & mortar shop in the future. I blog (more often in 2011!!) at www.junquerethunque.blogspot.com

    See you around...
