I had plans, plans of an office space just for me. I never expected my husband to be working for home and needing to share my space, but he does and we do. So I gave him my ginormous desk that can also double as a dining room table. That meant that I had to give up my plans of a daybed and add another desk. Lucky for me I had one in my inventory, but I had finished it in a color that didn't go with my theme teal and pink. So, I changed it. I have to say I like it better and it looks like an Anthropologie knockoff.
This is what it looked like when I first got it.
and this is what it looked like when I first did it for my shop.
I had changed the knobs to faux glass knobs, I was thinking of a desk for a preteen when I first painted it.
This is what it looks like now. It has 4 layers of paint including the original.
One hot pink, one white, one teal, and turquoise. Some super distressing and viola!! It fits perfectly in my little corner and I can still look out the window when I am working.
It's staged with one of my dining chairs, but I'm hoping to find another cute french provicial or antique chair to paint raspberry to do with it.
The cool thing is now I have my own desk and I have another cool finish for my Etsy shop. I call it the Butterfly Desk since something about it reminds me of a butterfly and I just love butterflies. I could've called it The Monica Desk, but I didn't want to be that vain. Well at least not today.
