Trash to Treasure: Statement Desk

********************************************************************
Closing out this installment of Trash to Treasure Transformation is the talented Emily of Jones Design Company. She is a master crafter and is kind enough to share some of her tips and tricks with all of us on her blog.

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!}.
Questions about my office? Here are the past posts: office {part one}, office {specifics}, office {rearranged}, painted wallpaper {tutorial}, painted wallpaper {clarified}

enjoy!
