I "Think" My Room Is Done Now!



Ok, so I think I am finished with my room. We spent last weekend hanging the wallpaper border, and John painted my desk white. NOT the big, corner desk! We had a wood desk in the bonus room. This was my work space before my room! It housed my printer, AND my sewing/embroidery machine! How I ever worked in such cramped quarters, I'll never know! We had bought the desk at an unfinished wood store. We took a sample of the woodwork in the room, so they could match the stain. Well...they didn't do a very good job of matching! It was very dark, and a matte finish, and I absolutely HATED it! When John told me he wanted to put that desk in my room too, I was not very receptive! The desk was dark, and ugly, and matched NOTHING! So, on the drive to Pennsylvania I got to thinking, let's stain it a lighter shade to match the other furniture. Nope, he tells me we cannot stain lighter. Ok, hows about we paint it white? Yes he said! We'll sand it down and paint it white! Hooray! And immediately I knew I wanted pink crystal pull knobs.
The painting was a headache. Email John if you want to listen to his story! LOL! But, everything is in place, and the room looks great! I love my space! Thank you Puddin' Head!
I'm still looking for a chair to use with the white desk, so if anyone knows where I can get a pink task chair, drop me a line!
