"Bedside Desk Reveal!"

The funny thing about being a decorator is that I don't seem to have a lot of time left for sprucing up my own spaces anymore.  You probably recall me blogging about this great desk that I found on Craigslist for $20.


I was all excited.  I made sure it fit the space......


I picked the paint color....



And then I looked at the paint sitting on the floor of my kitchen for over two months.  I know, it's embarrassing.




But finally, enough was enough and I painted my desk this week.  I'm excited to share with you how it turned out.  So without further ado, here it is....


                                  BEFORE                                                                      AFTER


I'm really pleased with the result.  I took my own advice and created a Value Priced Vignette .


A collection of Goodwill and thrift store finds along with some hardback books from my collection and fresh flowers from the backyard and I think it looks pretty good. 

(Mirror: Value Village, $5.50, Mini-framed flower print: Goodwill, $0.99)




Now if I can just figure out whether I like the white chair or the green one best.  Thoughts?
