The Work Zone
So now that I've officially started my Etsy Store, I had to find a place to work and I needed to do it on the cheap. I was able to rescue this credenza and desk from the basement of the Boy Scouts. It was so heavy and large we actually had to cut the desk to get it into the room. It also had a dark finish and I decided to give it a fresh coat of white high gloss paint. It definitely was not easy as it took 2 coats of primer and several coats of paint. Ultimately I am happy with the results since I wanted a dramatic effect with the dark walls ($5.00 oops paint from Home Depot) and white furniture and accessories. I picked up a couple of extra $20 dollar chairs from Ikea to go on either side of the desk. Bonus: they are the same chairs I have in my dining room so when I expand the table for guest I have extra matching chairs that I can pull out.

A clean desk is a sure sign of a dirty mind. :-) I am beyond jealous because NOTHING in my house is as tidy as this room. You must be able to keep the twins out of that room! LOVE your color pallette.
