The funny thing about the desk is that at around the same time, another blogger picked up an almost identical desk and refinished it for her daughter. You can go here to read the whole story about our desks and my refinishing project - it's so coincidental that its almost unbelievable.
Here's my refinished desk....
Anyway, we finally got the desk down to the lake house and put it in the sunroom where I had originally envisioned it going. I am so happy with it. Before we just used a crappy old table with the computer sitting on top of it. Now I have a nice desk with drawers to put all my stuff in. The desk fits perfectly in the space. What do you think?
Happy, happy, happy!
Love it! What a pleasant place to surf the web. :)
ReplyDeleteIt is because I look out the window and see the lake. It reminds to get off the computer and go outside!
ReplyDeleteHi Kim! Free? Oh, my, what a wonderful freebie. Your desk looks awesome and you did a beautiful job on the refinish. Love this and I hope you're oding well.

Thanks Shelia! Enjoy your weekend and don't be eating all those cookies! :--)
DeleteIt looks great now and you DO have the perfect spot for it. I'm glad you kept it a wood tone, too. It would look cute painted but I love the richness of wood! Enjoy your day! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI toyed with painting it, but you're right - the stain was the way to go. xo
DeleteNice job! Well worth your effiorts.
ReplyDeleteThanks Diane! I was pretty happy with it.
DeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dolly!
DeleteGreat job on the desk, Kim! It fits perfect in the spot you reserved for it, too!
ReplyDeleteI received the book yesterday. After I got home from work last night, I got right into the book. I'm loving it!!! That was so sweet of you to send it to me.
Thank you so much, dear friend.
