i received this desk, oh, 3 years ago? from my friend Jen of Savory Simple. a beautifully functional desk, fine as it was. until i got in my head that i need to reburbish it. this is what happens when i read too many blogs:
thank goodness i love the end result.
initial inspiration, subsequent aspirations.
knobs from anthropologie, in clearance bin.
paint from walmart.
top fabric & podmodge from jo-ann fabric & craft.
assistance from Dangerous & Kimma Kim.
watched over the weekend: Mao's Last Dancer and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest
and lastly... ahem. U2 tickets were purchased on Friday. in about 7 months i'll be able to cross out #51 in my Life List.

Love the desk but more importantly, love that you got tickets to the concert! I just bought mine at 12am this morning. We are in section 121 almost behind the stage, but not quite so yay!

ReplyDeleteI remember when you bought those knobs! This looks so cool, I love the colors and the knobbage.
ReplyDeleteWhoa. The Before and After comparison is ridiculous. I love the color and the different knobs, especially that little pink wicker-y one.
