projects and spring break...

The project for last weekend I told you about in my last post ended up being the first project of this weekend.

Did that make sense?

Jim ending up working last Saturday and, well, we started another new project on Sunday.

There is so much going on around here I don't know if I am coming or going.

Between finishing up the den and starting the living room new project, as well as working on all the pieces for the fourth annual At Home With White Show at the Wrentham Country Store I seem to be up to my new short haircut in paint!

By the way...are you planning on coming to the show?

Jim surprised me today with the new desktop from all the old wonderfully weathered wood he found curbside a while ago.

I wanted to leave as is but it wasn't practical or smooth or splinter free.

Details, details.

However, he did a beautiful job and I love it...

I wanted a new desk for the room but Jim liked the old one.

So with a new~old top I am happy now. 

I am still undecided if I will paint the bottom, white/grey wash the top or leave as is and just seal the wood.

Your thoughts?

There is still a lot to do here in the den.

Then there is the new project, as well as putting together my outside space and inside space for the White Show on April 12th and 13th.

What's a girl to do with all this on her plate?

Enjoy a week with her son who is home on spring break!!

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!

he was right...

It took a few days to give this desk it's makeover...

I spent Sunday sanding, painting, sanding and painting some more...

Seeing how beautiful it was coming out, I decided to keep it and switch it out with the table I have in my craft room.  After it was done I could not wait to get it in my room to see how it would look...

Jim kept telling me that he did not think it was big enough for all my projects.  Of course I thought he was wrong...

I envisioned the vintage typewriter on the desk too...

Of course I would not have it right in the middle, it would be off to the side with a cute vignette surrounding it...

As I stood there admiring my work, I realized, he was right...

Just look how much space I miss out on.  My table went from the wall to the little shelf.  I know I could put a lot of the things that I had on the table into the drawers but I still do not think there will be enough room.  I hate to admit it when he is right ~ but he is, this time...

So, sadly, off to the shop the desk will go.  I had this chair in the shop but brought it home to add some numbers...

I think they will look nice together in my booth...

  As you can see, the wonderful white desk is out of my room and waiting to go in my booth.  Speaking of my booth, all the doors are ready and waiting for the makeover, which I hope will happen this weekend...

  I am now searching for a spot to keep the old typewriter...

As much as I love it I really do not have the right spot in my nest for it.  So, sadly, it too will probably end up in my booth.  While I am not keeping these treasures I did find a spot for the vintage fan I found recently...

I nestled it in the hutch in my craft room among some of my favorite treasures.  The trestle table is back in there too, all cleaned up and ready for my next project...

I am joining Kathleen over at Faded Charm for White Wednesday.  I am hoping to have new booth photos for next week!!  Keep your fingers crossed and have a wonderful day!
