Desk Makeover - The Reveal

Hello Friends - I'm finally getting around to posting about my desk makeover.  I started out with this earlier in the spring.  It's all finished now and looks like this:

I won't lie, it took several coats - a primer and close to 3 coats of paint in some spots.   All in all about a couple weeks start to finish.

On the inside shelves I decided to put in some leftover contact paper down rather than paint all the cubbies out.

 

It's now in our dining room and it's been getting lots of use!

 

 

I changed out the hardware as well.  In case anyone is interested, the colour is Benjamin Moore Cloud White.  Overall, I'm really happy with the results.

Mother's Day Round-Up

I hope all the Mother's out there had a fantastic Mother's Day!  Mine was just lovely, spent with my kids, my own Mother and my Mother in-law.  The day started out with breakfast in bed prepared by my children (with the help of their father, of course).  They also presented me with some lovely hand-crafted gifts.  Here's a sampling:

 

A beautiful tea light holder and a flower pot with hand made flower, plus one real carnation.

 

 

Hand knitted coasters, these were lovingly made with no help by my eldest - so proud!

The new Vogue Knitting Crochet edition magazine.  This was a nice surprise!

 



 

Here are just a couple of the gorgeous tops in this issue!

 

Hope everyone had a great day!  Look for my desk makeover reveal coming soon!
