Let's Get Down to Business...

And the office makeover begins.... with the desk.

I was looking on Craigslist for EVER for the perfect desk. Then... I was at goodwill dropping some things off and saw them unloading this puppy. Perfect for my new office! I bought it for $15 bucks... and had a blast giving it a new look. Get your coffee, grab a seat, take a look, in a book...  nevermind that was getting off topic. Reading Rainbow? Anyone? Bueller?

The piece in the middle of the desk is where a sewing machine used to be... amazing, right?

I primed and painted with Yellow Finch. It is more in the yellow/green family than these pictures relay... I really really like it.

Then I glazed it with my handy dandy charcoal antiquing glaze

Super easy... 1. paint it on thick 2. wipe it off with water 3. wipe again with a dry cloth 4. redo the cracks and details so they get the most.

here she is! the wood is so old that it picked up the glaze really beautifully. I repainted all of the hardware with metalic silver paint, and glazed over that. Don't you love the hardware? it is really unique and is really what made me fall in love.

The office is 0% done... and 7% started (that is the desk). So... you may not see the before and afters on my place of work for a hot minute... but until then, i promise to keep you posted. I will give you a hint... I am a freakin' copy cat and Joon over at The Adventures of Ordy and Joon has inspired me...

In conclusion...
In Summary...
Heretofore....
Hitherthither....Let me know if you have any ideas on how to organize my craft supplies! I cut down considerably before the move, but still need a spot (though there is limited space). I am open for ideas!
