Transforming something ordinary {and maybe a little ugly} into something beautiful and useful is one of my favorite things to do. Usually these projects are cost-effective and produce the best results. Take my office desk, for instance.
Here it is in it’s raw state.
At that point I was thinking I would add a skirt. But once it was sanded
primed
painted {two coats of Sherwin Williams Cashmere paint in Rushing River}
given a band of white grosgrain ribbon
and some silver nail head trim
I ended up really liking its modern simplicity.
So here she is now living happily in my office.
What was once an pretty ugly desk, is now a one-of-a-kind statement piece {that is very practical, too!}.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to update this table. It seems the small details really make it look great.
ReplyDeleteI have those legs sitting in my shed! Want to do this a.s.a.p.
ReplyDeleteI love when people have the ability to see something beautiful in something mundane. You really have created an attractive piece. And on a budget! I definitely think that the desk looks classy and even a bit girly.
ReplyDeleteHI there, you may want to try Sherwin Williams Proclassic paint as it is super hard drying paint that is meant for furniture, cabinets, doors and trim! The best part is that when you set something on top of it won't have that stick that happens with wall paint. Thought you may want to know for future projects. The office and desk look perfect! Congrats on your little girl.
