craft room. check.

Back to blogging :)

In my last post, I shared the shelves and shutters that we built in my craft room/office. Well... I FiNaLLy hauled my desk (with the help of my amazing husband of course) down to the garage for a little bit of TLC. A few other little odds and ends and this finally puts the finishing touch on the room! Check it out!!

Okay so by the way... we had a friend (Cody Jordan) photograph the house when we first moved in. He is an amazing photographer (will post more pics later) So of course the "Before" picture is beautiful even despite what i gave him to work with haha

Check out his work: http://www.codyjordan.com/index.htm

And so my pics (that were taken with my iphone...eek) look pretty awful. Thats why i didnt go into photography :)

If you noticed in the before, the color of the desk just didn't really work for me. 
So we took the desk apart and I sanded the top down to the original wood...

Then I stained the top...
(And painted the legs, sorry no pics)...


Finished Product! the Back side...

Up close of my fun project from a few weeks ago! I found some windows at a builders outlet for $3 each! I painted and sanded edges for the "antique" look. 
They are great for "panoramic" shots...

My dad found this antique sewing organizer at a yard sale. A little paint and its perfect. 
I keep all my thread, needles etc. in here!


And I love this little stool in the corner my mom found and we fixed up :)
